The Tunisian Complex of Sciences, Literature, and Arts, known as Beit Al-Hikma, has launched its new cultural season with a series of intellectual and ceremonial activities throughout October. As part of this program, Professor Toufik Ben Amer will deliver a lecture titled "The Legitimacy of Looking at Knowledge Transfer" on Tuesday, October 6, at 11 am. This inaugural lecture is part of the activities organized by the Islamic Studies Department.
The lecture is the first event in the "Knowledge and Values Transfer" series, which aims to explore the mechanisms and justifications for transferring knowledge. Beit Al-Hikma's decision to focus on this theme reflects the importance of knowledge sharing and its role in shaping the cultural and intellectual landscape of Tunisia. The event is expected to attract scholars, researchers, and intellectuals from various backgrounds.
In addition to the lecture, Beit Al-Hikma will also host a memorial service for the late Tunisian academic, Mustafa Bsebess, who passed away on August 29. The ceremony, scheduled for Saturday, October 10, at 10 am, will bring together colleagues, friends, and family to pay tribute to his contributions to the academic community.
The cultural season at Beit Al-Hikma features a range of activities, including book presentations and competitions. For instance, the public library in Mourouj 5 recently presented a book titled "Writing Saved Me" by author Amal Al-Mukhtar. This event was part of a series of activities celebrating the written word and its impact on personal and social development.
Other cultural events have taken place in Tunisia recently. The Ministry of Family Affairs has reaffirmed its commitment to supporting families and providing optimal care for the elderly, in celebration of the International Day of Older Persons. Meanwhile, a new book by Sahrawi journalist Qamoum has been released, titled "Towards a Multipolar World".
The French Institute in Tunis has also announced a poetry writing competition, which will be held online. This initiative aims to encourage young writers to express themselves and showcase their talents. The competition is open to participants from Tunisia and other countries, and submissions will be accepted until a specified deadline.
The various cultural events taking place in Tunisia demonstrate the country's rich intellectual and artistic landscape. From lectures and book presentations to memorial services and competitions, these activities reflect the diversity and creativity of the Tunisian people. As the cultural season continues, it is expected that more events will be organized, offering opportunities for Tunisians to engage with art, literature, and ideas.
