Recently, 45 young individuals, both men and women, have embarked on a 12-month training program organized by the Heritage Commission. This initiative, held at The Artisans House in Al-Ramis Center in Qatif, aims to preserve heritage and equip the youth with skills in traditional crafts and handicrafts.

The training program, according to the Saudi Press Agency, seeks to empower participants by immersing them in cultural preservation and craftsmanship. Ibrahim Alsghan, the regional manager of the Heritage Commission in the Eastern Province, emphasized that the courses focus on safeguarding cultural heritage, showcasing ancient and contemporary handicrafts, and enhancing practical skills.

At The Artisans House, known for crafting wooden items, fishing nets, and traditional Naqda embroidery with gold and silver threads on traditional attire, participants will explore the intricacies of these traditional art forms.

The training program at The Artisans House not only preserves heritage but also nurtures the next generation with valuable skills in traditional crafts. Through this initiative, young individuals are given the opportunity to connect with their cultural roots and contribute to the preservation of Saudi Arabia's rich heritage.
