Egypt to modernise 30 culture palaces across country within year

In Egypt, 30 new-model culture palaces will be established in several governorates during the implementation of the first phase of the annual cultural modernisation plan. This was announced by the Minister of Culture of the Arab Republic, Gihane Zaki, as reported by Daily News Egypt, a partner of TV BRICS.

According to Zaki, the modernisation aims to transform simple buildings into part of an integrated living environment system. The initiative forms part of a broader strategy to ensure access to culture as a right of all citizens. The renovated culture palaces will be equipped with “people’s cinemas” for film screenings, digital book platforms, free studios for talent development, and stages for theatrical performances.

Zaki also announced the planned introduction of a card for low-income students and persons with disabilities, granting free access to all cultural events and services. The plan also includes support for so-called mobile cultural centres to hold creative workshops in rural and border areas.

The country’s authorities intend to develop a national programme to merge new technologies with Egyptian heritage through interactive applications and educational games. The selected strategy includes partnerships with private companies to produce digital content for social media and the integration of “authentic Egyptian cultural content” into basic education curricula.
