– The King Abdulaziz Center for World Culture (Ithra) announced the dates of the seventh annual Tanween creativity conference, which will take place October 31 to November 6 under the theme “Fail Forward.” The conference will be held at the Ithra Center in Dhahran and will feature 60 participants from around the world.
Ithra explained that this year’s conference will feature workshops, training sessions, exhibitions, and other events aimed at achieving tangible results in the field of design. It added that the conference seeks to change the perception of failure by making setbacks a natural part of the design process.
The conference also aims to embrace failure as part of the creative process, in which each experience offers lessons leading to innovative discoveries and valuable experiences that help the creative community continue to advance and turn challenges into opportunities for growth and success, Ithra said.
Ithra calls on creators and innovators to develop design solutions that enhance and enr
ich the Hajj experience through three main tracks: “Communication” to improve and develop guidance and direction services, “Waste Management” to reimagine the process during the Hajj season, and “Health” to find new ways to reduce pilgrims’ fatigue.
The center invites interested parties to submit their projects before October 24 via the website: https://www.ithra.com/ar/special-programs/tanween/tanween-2024-fail-forward/tanween-mega-challenge-enriching-pilgrims-journey.
