In collaboration with Qatar Museums , the International Centre for the Study of the Preservation and Restoration of Cultural Property (ICCROM) , Chile’s National Centre for World Heritage Sites , and the World Heritage Site Municipal Corporation of Valparaíso, and Trama Cultura , Years of Culture  is hosting a regional workshop in Valparaíso, Chile , from 24 to 28 November 2025 , dedicated to strengthening international cooperation in safeguarding heritage.   As part of the Qatar Argentina and Chile 2025 Year of Culture , experts from Qatar Museums’ Cultural Heritage Protection Department  will work alongside Chilean and international specialists in a five-day programme titled “Enhancing the Effectiveness of World Heritage Management.”  The initiative aims to pass on knowledge, share lived experiences and set up international expert networks between those entrusted with the world’s most precious cultural legacies.   Abdullatif Al-Jasmi , Director of Cultural Heritage Protection at Qatar Museums, said: “This collaboration with Chile reflects our shared responsibility to protect and preserve cultural heritage for future generations. Through the Years of Culture initiative, we are building meaningful platforms for knowledge exchange and professional collaboration that strengthen the management and resilience of World Heritage sites. Working together allows us to advance expertise and promote a deeper sense of cultural cooperation, preserving the stories and places that shape our shared human legacy.”   Throughout the week, participants will explore how to sustain the values and authenticity of World Heritage sites through improved governance, legal frameworks, and management planning. The sessions will weave together global best practices with local perspectives, translating the lessons learned in Qatar’s desert landscapes into strategies for Chile’s coastal heritage.   Practical sessions at the Historic Quarter of the Seaport City of Valparaíso , a UNESCO World Heritage Site, will transform the city itself into a living classroom. Participants will engage in fieldwork, risk assessments, and peer-to-peer exchanges that tackle real-world conservation challenges, fostering both technical skills and a spirit of shared stewardship.   Organised under ICCROM’s World Heritage Leadership Programme , the workshop exemplifies how Years of Culture  and Qatar Museums transform cultural diplomacy into tangible learning. It is a story of exchange—where experience becomes knowledge, and knowledge becomes the foundation for preserving the world’s collective memory. #YearsofCulture #Chile

With more than 4,000 attendees, the opening day featured high-level plenaries and immersive learning experiences focused on the future of human-centered education The World Innovation Summit for Education (WISE), a global initiative of Qatar Foundation, launched the 12th edition of its flagship Summit today at Qatar National Convention Centre. Held under the theme “ Humanity.io : Human Values at the Heart of Education’,   the opening day of the Summit brought together global education leaders, policymakers, innovators, and youth from more than 100 countries to explore how learning ecosystems can remain grounded in human purpose in an era shaped by rapid technological transformation. The day began with a high-level plenary that examined how societies can navigate the opportunities and risks of artificial intelligence in education. Speakers emphasized that while technology continues to accelerate at an unprecedented pace, it is ultimately human identity, creativity, emotional intelligence, and ethics that determine how innovation will shape future generations. The Humanity.io theme of the session, symbolizing the continuous exchange between human insight and technological output, anchored the day’s discussions and set the tone for the day’s program. Continuing the day’s high-level engagements, the Ministerial Roundtable ‘Bridging the Divide: Financing Inclusive and Future-Ready Education’, led by the Ministry of Education and Higher Education and Qatar Fund for Development (QFFD), convened senior government officials and global education leaders in a high-level dialogue on national education priorities and cross-sector collaboration. Building on the momentum of cross-sector dialogue, ‘Bridging the Digital Divide: Scaling EdTech for Equity’, moderated by Niamh Whelan [MS1]  , Program Lead at WISE, examined global strategies to expand digital access and close technology-driven learning gaps. Speakers shared insights on building inclusive EdTech ecosystems, highlighting models that enhance connectivity, strengthen foundational skills, and ensure that learners in low-resource environments benefit equally from digital innovation.  Extending the focus to cultural and linguistic innovation, the Arabic-language session ‘Reading in the Age of AI: How Is Arabic Content Produced, Consumed, and Distributed?’ explored how AI is transforming the Arabic publishing ecosystem. Panelists discussed content creation trends, the future of digital reading, and the importance of strengthening regional platforms that preserve linguistic identity while embracing technological innovation. Speakers examined why the Arab world is still not investing enough in developing its own AI systems, and highlighted several emerging solutions, platforms, and innovative approaches that support Arabic language learning and content production. The session titled ‘Innovating Schooling: Towards a Progressive Schools Movement’ brought together leading voices shaping the future of learner-centered schooling. Participants looked into emerging models that prioritize creativity, student agency, community engagement, and holistic development across diverse education systems. The session underscored how holistic education is ultimately about recentering the human being and reaffirming the deeper purpose of learning; and how it brings together spiritual, moral, and intellectual development, ensuring that every learner is equipped to help build a more compassionate and balanced world. Closing the series of thematic conversations, the session ‘Fostering Collaboration among Global Education Platforms’ convened influential leaders shaping the future of international education ecosystems. Moderated by Dr. Asyia [MS2]  Kazmi, OBE, CEO Designate of WISE, the discussion featured insights on how global education platforms can break silos, accelerate innovation, and strengthen collaboration across continents especially in areas of digital learning, data-sharing, lifelong learning pathways, and cross-border knowledge exchange. The session spotlighted the importance of promoting education as a shared societal vision at a time when global advocacy for education is declining. The WISE 12 Summit underscores WISE’s continued role as a global platform for reimagining the future of education. On its second day, participants continue discussions offering deeper insights into how education can adapt, collaborate, and scale meaningful change in an era shaped by rapid global shifts. #WISE12Summit

Carnegie Mellon University in Qatar (CMU-Q), a partner university of Qatar Foundation, hosted its largest-ever Future's Fair, providing an unparalleled opportunity for employers to connect with Qatar's most promising students and recent graduates. A record number of more than 70 leading local and international organizations attended to recruit from CMU-Q's exceptional talent pool. This year’s fair introduced individualized company booths to support networking and on-the-spot interviews. The exclusive event provided employers with a direct pipeline to CMU-Q students and alumni, who are trained to be skilled team players, problem solvers, and creative thinkers. "The sheer scale of this year's Future's Fair is a testament to the incredible demand for our graduates," said Michael Trick, dean of CMU-Q. "We provide an education that is rigorous, analytical, and collaborative. For employers in Qatar and the region, this event is the single best opportunity to meet the next generation of leaders and innovators who will drive their organizations forward." The Future’s Fair included representatives from the top employers of CMU-Q students. One third of the employed graduates of the Class of 2024 were hired by one of these seven organizations: QatarEnergy, Qatar Airways, Avey, Qatar Computing Research Institute, Ministry of Communications and Information Technology, KPMG and PwC. One of those employers, Qatar Airways, highlighted the real-world impact of hiring CMU-Q graduates. “CMU-Q graduates stand out for their readiness to transition seamlessly into the workplace,” said Arwa Al Mesallam, Talent Acquisition Business Partner at Qatar Airways. “They demonstrate strong research abilities, data-driven decision-making, and a mindset oriented toward innovation. Whether it’s advancing digital transformation, contributing to sustainability goals, or designing new solutions for aviation, they bring both creativity and practicality. Their ability to bridge theory with practice makes them natural contributors to Qatar Airways’ vision of excellence and innovation.” Avey, another major employer of CMU-Q graduates, also spoke to the caliber of the university’s talent. “CMU-Q students have shown that they are some of the highest-caliber talents the country has to offer,” said Moussa Zekak, COO of Avey. “Their commitment to work, honesty, and rigor is unmatched. We have a long-standing relationship with CMU-Q, from our Founder and CEO being a Computer Science professor at the university to a large percentage of our employees being CMU-Q graduates.” For many employers, it’s not just technical skill but also mindset that sets CMU-Q students apart. “CMU-Q students stand out for their technical depth, adaptability, and genuine interest in research and innovation,” said Keivin Isufaj, Software Engineer at Qatar Computing Research Institute (QCRI). “What impresses us most is their curiosity, passion, and the way they confidently present themselves while staying at the forefront of emerging technologies.” From the student perspective, CMU-Q’s unique academic and extracurricular offerings play a pivotal role in career readiness. “Studying business administration at CMU-Q prepared me for life after graduation through offering countless opportunities both inside and outside the classroom,” said Marwa Darwish, Class of 2024 Business Administration graduate and now Associate Consultant at PwC Middle East. “Academically, we had the opportunity to concentrate and minor in a variety of diverse areas and even potentially create a self-defined minor to explore new fields and we had access to the course offerings at other QF universities through cross-registration. Beyond the classroom, CMU-Q offered experiences that few universities provide, such as the opportunity to participate in a global learning trip or teach a student-designed course. These experiences truly set me and my classmates apart as CMU-Q graduates among other applicants in the job market.” The Future's Fair is one of many ways Carnegie Mellon University in Qatar connects its students with the professional community. The university provides year-round programming and support to help students build professional skills and network with industry leaders. CMU-Q students are educated to the same rigorous, world-class standards as those on the main campus in the United States, and are highly sought after for their analytical approach, collaborative mindset, and practical, hands-on experience. #Carnegie
