Written, or through a dramatic production that delivers indirect messages, with an impact that exceeds the direct information the audience receives through news bulletins and traditional media.

The session sheds light on the commonalities between dramatic production in one country, and the role of the dramatic language that is translated on the small screen in defining the cultural and emotional identity, and its importance in highlighting civilizational achievements. It is capable of consolidating the cultural and historical commonality in building bridges of communication between nations, and reviews examples of global successes in this regard.

Inspired by her experience in which she spent wonderful moments with the aesthetics of Arabic through her readings, which were crowned by the champion of the Arab Reading Challenge, Muzna talks about the importance of balancing generations between openness to the world by learning its languages ​​and effective communication with it, and mastering Arabic as the identity of the Arab nation and its stock of culture and history, where the session raises questions Language and the impact of industrial superiority on the supremacy of one language at the expense of another.
