The fair also included the launch of an initiative to distribute free coupons for purchasing books, in a step that aimed to encourage students to read and to strengthen their culture of knowledge and learning, in line with the university’s vision of creating an integrated educational and cultural environment.
The activities are expected to continue for one week, allowing a larger number of visitors to explore the latest publications and take part in the diverse cultural events, further highlighting the importance of books and their role in raising awareness and building the future.
