emirates7 - The Sharjah Institute for Heritage (SIH) took part in the "Third Cultural Forum," organized by the Faculty of Media at Cairo University in Egypt. The event also saw the involvement of various embassies and cultural attachés accredited in Egypt.
SIH’s participation showcased the richness of Emirati cultural heritage, offering students an immersive experience through live displays of traditional Emirati men’s and women’s clothing, along with demonstrations of hospitality customs. The institute also exhibited examples of folk arts and authentic handicrafts that reflect the UAE’s deep-rooted cultural identity.
As one of Cairo University’s most notable annual cultural events, the forum celebrates global cultural diversity and fosters dialogue between civilizations. It provides a dynamic platform where students from diverse national and cultural backgrounds interact, while also helping international students feel more connected to Egypt by sharing their own heritage in a spirit of cultural exchange.
This engagement is part of SIH’s broader mission to foster cultural dialogue and build bridges with academic institutions and youth across the Arab region and beyond. It underscores the role of Emirati heritage as a universal value that promotes mutual understanding and transcends borders.
