Season Theme
How can we stay rooted while reaching for the future?

What do we carry with us — and what do we leave behind?
How can we live together, with all our differences, and still create something meaningful and shared?

This season invites youth to reflect on the timeless power of tradition and the boundless energy of the digital age. It’s time to connect past and future — and reimagine what it means to belong.

A Partnership with Qatar Museums
