Egypt is launching a 12 - month, first - phase project to modernize 30 “palaces of culture” across various governorates to expand public access to arts, culture and heritage.
The initiative announced by Culture Minister Jihan Zaki, is part of a broader strategy to ensure that access to culture is a right for all citizens. The move aims to refurbish and transform these buildings into integrated, technology – enabled hubs featuring “people’s cinemas”, digital book platforms, and free studios and stages for theatrical presentations.
The plan also includes support for mobile culture centres that will organise creative workshops and seminars in remote, rural and border regions and a national program that integrates new technologies into Egyptian heritage through interactive applications and educational games.
The project under the slogan “Towards a Fair, Safe, and Creative Culture", includes the launch of an online platform of museums focuses on engaging Generations Z and Alpha through interactive, tech - integrated educational games, short videos, and activities that merge technology with heritage and in collaboration with the Ministry of Tourism, a programme of school and university visits will be implemented.
The strategy envisages partnerships with private companies for the production of digital content for social media and the inclusion of authentic Egyptian cultural content in basic education curricula.
According to the Minister of Culture, the modernization seeks to transform simple buildings into part of an integrated system of coexistence spaces, and will be created a card for low - income students and people with disabilities, which will allow free access to all cultural events and services.
The Minister highlighted that this development is the result of a cooperation program between Egyptian musems and international cultural capitals to promote Egyptian art and he stressed that digital technologies are central to the implementations of these plans and stated that the ministry is working on a roadmap that integrates all cultural initiatives with the aim to expands their reach to a greater number of participants.
