United Nations Alliance of Civilization (UNACO) delegation, currently visiting the country, toured yesterday the Qatar University and the Foundation for Education Above All.
The delegation met with the Dean of Shari’ah and Islamic Studies College Prof Yousef Al Sidiqi, and learned about the university’s experience in promoting dialogue and alliance of civilisations.
Al Sidiqi explained the approach of the Alliance of Civilizations, which is taught to all university students, and the “Encyclopedia of Surprise”, which is considered the first and the largest scientific in the Islamic world and seeks to contribute to understanding the West and promote the path of dialogue and alliance of civilisations in cooperation with international organisations.
CEO of Education Above All, Fahad Al Sulaiti, briefed the visiting delegation on the Foundation’s programmes that advocate the fundamental right to receive education around the world through more than 50 programs in 43 countries.
Al Sulaiti stressed the Foundation’s keenness to ensure that people who are marginalised and exposed to risk in developing countries receive quality education without discrimination, in the belief of the importance of education and its central role in human development.
