Under the patronage of the Ministry of Culture, the association SAVE THE BOOK organized the "أبناء الضاد" Arabic competition for secondary school students in Lebanon. The event was attended by Attorney Ziad Beidoun, representing Minister of Culture Mohammad Wissam Al-Murtada, alongside a large gathering from academic, educational, social, cultural, media, economic, and legal circles, as well as parents.
The competition included twenty questions from the Arabic language curriculum for secondary education.
