The third International Multimedia Festival of Cultural Heritage was held at the prestigious Hafez Hall in the historic city of Shiraz. The event was attended by several senior national and provincial officials including Iran’s Minister of Cultural Heritage, Tourism and Handicrafts, as well as the Governor of Fars province.
At the festival, two of SUMS international students, from Lebanon and Indian-administered Kashmir, represented a total of fourteen award-winning students from India, Iraq, Afghanistan, and Lebanon. They showcased their talents in photography and painting contests, exploring diverse themes including nature, ethnography, family life, historical monuments, customs and ceremonies, notable personalities, Iranian souvenirs, and traditional Iranian arts. They received a certificate of appreciation and a trophy from Iran’s Deputy Minister for Cultural Heritage.
Dr. Seyed Hassan Seradj, SUMS Vice-Chancellor for International Affairs, expressed pride in the active participation of students from SUMS International Education Program (IEP). He emphasized the event's significance in fostering international cultural exchange and understanding, stating, "Such events facilitate effective communication among students and introduce them to the customs and traditions of their host community."
