The launch of the first tours of "Know Your Heritage and Antiquities of Your Country" (a tour of the The Archaeology Museum and The Heritage museum)

Aligns with the strategic plan of the School of Archaeology and Tourism to enhance the School's educational, informative, and national role. This initiative is part of the action plan of the Museums, aiming to deepen scientific knowledge about Jordan's historical heritage across different eras and to foster national sentiment among students at the University of Jordan.

Today, Tuesday, marked the commencement of the inaugural tours of the Museums, organized for all University of Jordan students as part of the "Know Your Heritage and Antiquities of Your Country" initiative. This initiative is carried out in collaboration with the University of Jordan's Local Community Networking and Development Center.

The initiative seeks to provide all university students with the opportunity to participate and launch voluntary and educational youth initiatives inspired by the museum collections. It aims to enhance educational and creative skills among the students, encouraging them to think innovatively. The objective is to nurture a culture of creativity and innovation through selected exhibits from the museums, encapsulating a long history of human effort and representing the historical and heritage identity of Jordanians. These exhibits symbolize various aspects of innovation and creativity throughout different ages, including artistic works, ornaments, traditional medicine components, and more.

All these tours will be credited as part of the Community Service requirements (activity points), with one tour per week throughout the academic year 2023/2024.
