THE Youth Affairs Ministry has launched the ‘Bel Bahraini’ programme in collaboration with the care and development authority, aiming to strengthen Bahraini identity and preserve cultural heritage among the youth.
Minister Rawan Tawfiqi reaffirmed the ministry’s commitment to instilling national values, traditions and customs in young people as a cornerstone of its strategy.
The initiative aligns with the directives of His Majesty King Hamad to uphold Bahraini identity and national values, she added.
The minister emphasised that the programme reflects the policies of the Supreme Council for Youth and Sports, chaired by His Majesty’s representative for humanitarian work and youth affairs Shaikh Nasser bin Hamad Al Khalifa, to nurture a generation that cherishes Bahrain’s traditions and cultural heritage.
‘Bel Bahraini’ seeks to educate youth about the importance of preserving Bahraini customs, traditions and language while encouraging them to embrace and promote these values for future generations. It also highlights the role of cultural identity in building a cohesive society that balances rooted heritage with global openness.
The programme will feature interactive activities and workshops focusing on Bahrain’s history, folklore and national values. Additionally, initiatives to revive and promote the use of traditional Bahraini expressions will be a key component, fostering a deeper connection between younger generations and their cultural roots.
