Ooredoo supports PACI by Holding an Exhibition Showcasing Traditional Omani Crafts

Mobilk - Ooredoo recently held an exhibition showcasing the heritage of Omani handicrafts, with the aim of contributing to the advancement of the industry, as well as encouraging youth to maintain the tradition for generations to come. The exhibition was conducted in collaboration with the Public Authority for Craft Industries (PACI), who represents and sponsors craft-based initiatives and industries in the Sultanate. Hosted at Ooredoo’s campus, the exhibition was opened under the patronage of His Excellency Dr. Essam bin Ali Al Rawas, Vice President of PACI, accompanied by Kumail Al Moosawi, Chief People Officer at Ooredoo. It follows the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding between Ooredoo and PACI to provide training programmes; part of a series of MoUs signed between Ooredoo and a number of government entities over the past few months. 

Raed Dawood, Ooredoo’s Director of Government Relations and Corporate Affairs, said, “This exhibition demonstrates our commitment towards encouraging young local talent to develop their abilities, while maintaining the traditions of their heritage. Our aim behind organising this exhibition was to promote craftsmanship in Oman and its potential.” 

Dr. Al Rawas commented, “This exhibition symbolised the essence of our recent agreement with Ooredoo, which was centred on the empowerment of artisans and supporting traditional products within the Omani market. We would like to thank the company for its partnership with the authority to deliver a number of specialised lectures and workshops that will build the capacity of our budding local talent.” 

Ooredoo’s exhibition formed part of its ongoing series of events, centred on the development of Oman’s local talent and providing them with support, in addition to facilitating events that promote human growth.
