Since its inception back in 2003, Development for People and Nature Association DPNA, was able to create positive relationships with the local community members, stakeholders, private sector, municipalities, local NGOs, and others. DPNA established El Moltaqa, an interactive space, which reflects a model of how art, culture and education can create huge impact on youth involvement in public concern, increase their sense of belonging and explore their talents and capabilities.
El Moltaqa’s goal is contributing to the improvement of the social and cultural fabric of Saida city and its surroundings through increasing youth involvement and role in art, culture and education. El Moltaqa is equipped with an interactive culture and art center which includes public library, coffee shop, internet access, art gallery, dialogue activities, art workshops, training room, meeting room, cinema club, small theater and vocational training workshops.
