Activities of the National History Lab was launched at Princess Nourah bint Abdulrahman University

On Sunday, Turki Al-Shuwaier, CEO of the King Abdulaziz Foundation (Darah), unveiled the "National History Lab" at Princess Nourah bint Abdulrahman University's Conference and Exhibition Center in Riyadh.

More than 30 universities and 15 national and international entities attended the opening ceremony, which will run until Tuesday and will feature 20 expert speakers in innovation and heritage, 13 judges to evaluate submitted projects, and over 20 facilitators to help participants develop their ideas.

The lab's goal is to stimulate creativity in conserving, documenting, and publishing national history through modern methods that are consistent with Saudi Arabia's Vision 2030.

It serves as a competitive platform for youth and history-focused organizations, aiming to strike a balance between authenticity and modernity by developing technical solutions for documenting and publishing national history, as well as creating interactive initiatives to strengthen the community's connection to its past.
