The seminar will be at the recital hall of the music building from 7:30 pm to 9:00 pm, former minister Dr. Rasheed Al-Hamad will run the evening with the attendance of poet Abdulaziz Al-Babtain and former GCC Secretary General Dr Abdullah Bishara.

It is worth mentioning that the biography of poet Abdulaziz Saud Al-Babtain is full of Arab and international achievements, as he is the founder of Abdulaziz Al-Babtain Cultural Foundation which has convened several literary and intercultural dialogue conferences on an international level. Al-Babtain also has promoted the Arabic language and culture through establishing several Arabic language chairs in many universities of the world. He was honoured in several ways and awarded high levels of accolades and medals from Arab and international leaders. His name is very well-known in the global cultural scene.

This is the second seminar hosted by Sheikh Jaber Al-Ahmad Cultural Centre since its inauguration last October in the presence of His Highness the Amir Sheikh Sabah Al-Ahmad Al-Jaber Al-Sabah and the launch of the cultural season that aims to host several special guests from different intellectual and literary trends and to raise important cultural issues.

The Sheikh Jaber Al-Ahmad Cultural Centre will be one of the most important buildings within the new city of Sabah Al-Ahmad. It will reflect Kuwait’s rich heritage, but also encompass popular culture, providing state of the art facilities and an inspirational home for a wide range of cultural activities.
