The Ministry of Social Development and Family on Sunday opened the ‘Home Grown Exhibition’ as part of the activities of the Qatar-Morocco 2024 Year of Culture, in the presence of Assistant Undersecretary for Family Affairs at the Ministry of Social Development and Family Sheikha Sheikha bint Jassim al-Thani.
Held at M7 in Msheireb City, the exhibition will run until November 7. It is organised in co-ordination with the Social and Sport Contribution Fund and Qatar Museums.
The exhibition aims to integrate Qatari and Moroccan cultures and enhance co-operation between them in production and marketing, with the participation of Qatari and Moroccan production projects. It reflects the interconnectedness and harmony between the Qatari and Moroccan heritages.
In a statement to Qatar News Agency (QNA), Moroccan ambassador to Qatar Mohamed Setri said the Qatar-Morocco 2024 Year of Culture’s activities reflect the depth of the fraternal relations between Qatar and Morocco, adding that the Home Grown Exhibition highlights the cultural ties and commonalities between the two brotherly peoples.
Nine diverse Qatari projects are participating in the exhibition, along with three youth initiatives and five projects from Morocco. They include leather printing, gifts, jewellery, event organisation, cosmetics, perfumes and incense, and others.
The exhibition also offers a range of training workshops open to the public such as the flower arrangement workshop and the ‘Prints without borders’ initiative presentation, among others.
