The Egyptian Cultural & Educational Bureau hosted a lively and engaging online celebration of World Arabic Language Day, titled “Arabic Language: Heritage, Identity, and Contemporary Creativity.”
The event was presented by Lamees Fadl, Lecturer in Arabic and English Language Literature at the City University of New York (CUNY).
Moderated by Dr. Essam Elbadry, Professor at St. John’s University, the session brought together participants from several countries, highlighting the truly global reach and enduring appeal of the Arabic language.
Throughout the event, guests were taken on an enjoyable journey through the history of Arabic, exploring its deep cultural roots, global influence, and vital role in shaping knowledge, identity, and civilization across centuries.
The session was made even more dynamic through an interactive general knowledge competition, which sparked enthusiasm, friendly exchange, and active participation, alongside meaningful dialogue between the presenter and attendees.
One of the most inspiring moments was a series of short videos featuring non-Arabic speakers who have studied Arabic, sharing their personal experiences and demonstrating their impressive language skills—powerful proof of the Arabic language’s ability to connect people across cultures and backgrounds.

Ambassador Tamer El Miligy, Consul General of the Arab Republic of Egypt in New York, for his kind support and for arranging the orientation session delivered to members of the Egyptian community on the higher education system in Egypt.
