National History Lab Launched in Riyadh to Preserve Saudi Heritage

National History Lab, an initiative designed to merge creativity and technology to preserve and innovate the nation’s historical narrative, was recently launched in Riyadh. 

Hosted at Princess Nourah bint Abdulrahman University, the lab features a lineup of 20 expert speakers, 13 judges, and more than 20 facilitators. These contributors are tasked with promoting creative methods for preserving, documenting, and publishing Saudi Arabia’s national history. The program also emphasises developing technical solutions and interactive initiatives to connect communities with their heritage.

This initiative is a key part of Saudi Arabia's Vision 2030, which aims to harmonise the country's cultural authenticity with its modern aspirations. By focusing on youth engagement and fostering collaboration with history organizations, the lab seeks to present the nation's history in innovative and contemporary formats.
