Several students recently took part in an interactive event that highlighted Bahrain’s rich pearling heritage and its global significance.
Organised by the Bahrain Institute for Pearls and Gemstones (DANAT) at the Isa Cultural Centre, the event began with a lecture on the history of the kingdom’s natural pearls, their formation, and the methods used for extraction and examination.
Students learned about Bahrain’s pioneering role in the global pearl and jewellery trade, as well as ongoing efforts to preserve this heritage.
DANAT chief executive officer Noora Jamsheer emphasised the importance of raising awareness about the country’s national identity and introducing younger generations to its rich cultural legacy.
“Such efforts are essential in cultivating a generation that recognises the value of Bahrain’s natural treasures and is committed to preserving them for the future,” she added.
