“Arts in the Classroom” is regarded one of the main activities implemented under Support to Cultural Diversity and Creativity in Egypt; a program co-funded by the European Union and executed by the Bibliotheca Alexandrina. This activity is specifically designed for the students of governmental and experimental schools, aged between 12 to 16 years old. It aims to expose them to the arts and, accordingly, to enhance their artistic talents and social skills. This is to be done by providing them interactive sessions and workshops on four types of arts: fine arts, music, theatre and filmmaking. Hitherto, the workshops have been implemented in 11 Egyptian governorates; Alexandria, Damietta, Beheira, Aswan, Luxor, Ismailia, Dakahlia, Minya, Al-Wady Al-Gadid, Fayoum and the Red Sea.
