The city of Jeddah is hosting a series of summer workshops designed to revive traditional crafts and introduce younger generations to their historical and cultural significance.
These initiatives include hands-on training in pottery, weaving, wood carving, and embroidery, delivered through interactive programs that combine learning with enjoyment.
Organizers emphasize that the workshops are not only about teaching manual skills but also about instilling pride in national identity and connecting participants with heritage that has endured for decades.
Families and children have the opportunity to engage directly with skilled artisans, making the experience both practical and authentic.
The events are also attracting strong interest from visitors and tourists, who see them as a window into the Kingdom’s cultural richness.
Organizers highlight that the revival of these crafts aligns with Saudi Arabia’s efforts to preserve intangible heritage and promote cultural tourism, in line with the goals of Vision 2030 to showcase the Kingdom’s cultural diversity.
