Vision & Objectives

We aspire to celebrate al-Quds as the Capital of Arab Culture for 2009, on both the Arab and international levels and we emphasize the fact that al-Quds (East Jerusalem) is an integral part of the Palestinian territories occupied in 1967. We also aim at consolidating the political dimension of al-Quds as the capital of the independent State of Palestine and its status within religious and human consciousness and to support Palestinian presence and steadfastness within it, in order to confront the Israeli occupation’s measures and consolidate the feeling of Arab national allegiance towards a unified Arab culture.

Strategic Objectives

Our main objective is to reinstate the cultural value of the city of al-Quds and bring its religious, historic and cultural dimensions to the forefront, thus consolidating its Arab cultural identity and protecting its historic features and sites through:-

1. Consolidating the steadfastness of Jerusalemites culturally, educationally, socially, economically and on the level of the media.
2. Effectuating cultural activity within al-Quds and its outskirts and extensions both locally and abroad.
3. Preparing and rehabilitating the appropriate infra-structures in order to celebrate al-Quds as an Arab Cultural Capital.
4. Widening and deepening the circle of Arab and international solidarity in order to protect the Arab identity of al-Quds.
