JEDDAH: The Ministry of Culture, in collaboration with the Lenobadir volunteer and community partnership program and the Athr Foundation, has launched the Ship of Tolerance initiative in Historic Jeddah during Ramadan.
It aims to promote shared human values through the arts and foster tolerance and coexistence among children and families, the Saudi Press Agency reported on Wednesday.
