Little Documentary Guide programme begins

The National Records and Archives Authority (NRAA) in Oman has initiated its sixth "Little Documentary Guide" program, designed to engage youth during their summer vacation. The program, running until July 16 at the Permanent Exhibition of National Records and Archives, aims to bolster young people's capabilities and their understanding of national documents' significance.

Through a blend of lectures, practical workshops, and field tours, the initiative seeks to cultivate guiding, communication, and public speaking skills. It also emphasizes instilling values of national identity and belonging. Participants will visit NRAA facilities and engage in practical documentary guiding exercises within the exhibition. The program also includes panel discussions featuring successful young individuals in fields like Quran memorization, scientific innovation, entrepreneurship, and digital content creation, alongside cultural competitions and awareness lectures.

The programme embodies the Authority's interest in investing in the energy of youth by introducing them to the role of documents in preserving national memory and providing them with guiding and communication skills.

Ahmed Mohammed Al Sabahi, Head of the Exhibition Organisation Section at NRAA, highlighted the program's role in investing in youth energy. He stated that it introduces them to how documents preserve national memory and equips them with essential guiding and communication skills. This, he explained, helps prepare a generation that values documents, takes pride in its national identity, and can present information effectively.

This contributes to preparing a generation that is aware of the value of documents, proud of its national identity, and capable of presenting information in a scientific and engaging manner.
