CAIRO - 24 March 2020: Minister of Culture Inas Abdel Dayem announced that a number of heritage books and publications of the General Egyptian Book organization are available for free on the ministry’s official page: www.moc.gov.eg.
The minister added that spreading heritage comes within the activities of the e-initiative "Stay at home ... Culture is in your hands", which represents one of the efforts exerted to contribute to the implementation of the precautionary measures to preserve public safety from the COVID-19 pandemic.
Abdel Dayem called on Egyptians to invest in knowing and spreading awareness.
The Supreme Council of Culture, headed by Hisham Azmy, also organizes a number of online cultural events, including a series of Arab cultural episodes entitled “Read with us”.
“Read with us” presents extracts from one of an Arab writer or poet's works read by his/her own voice. The recorded video is sent to the Supreme Council of Culture to upload it on all social media platforms, enabling the followers to engage freely in comments.
A large number of writers and creators from Arab countries and Egypt participate in the event.
