Al Sadu Educational Programme: Train the Trainers in the Art of Weaving

Al Sadu Society is a program developed and prepared by the Educational Programme (Train the Trainers in The Art of Weaving) in collaboration with the Arts Department in the Ministry of Education in order to raise awareness about the traditional Al Sadu weaving among the younger generations in Kuwait. A national curriculum was developed, along with training workshops to help teachers learn contemporary weaving techniques and how to transmit this traditional craft to students.
This program has been a great success and had a significant impact on students and art teachers, many of whom showed a high level of manual ability and creativity in traditional weaving.
Al Sadu Educational Programme: Train the Trainers in the Art of Weaving was inscribed in 2022 on the UNESCO Representative List of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity in Kuwait.
