The 12 th edition of Bahrain
Summer under the slogan
"Together virtually"
The National Institution for
Human Rights (NIHR) has participated
in Bahrain Summer annual
festival in its 12th edition for the
year 2020, under the theme of
“remotely brings us closer”, in
coincidence with the program of
the Bahrain Authority for Culture
and Antiquities this year under
the slogan “Dilmun: Land of Density.”
Due to the exceptional circumstances
witnessed by the world,
namely the spread of the Coronavirus
(Covid-19), the festival was
organized through virtual
electronic space, which made it
reach all parts of the world
through social media, where the
festival contained a lot of diverse
activities, including concert
shows, educational and creative
workshops, tours and publications
of books on children’s rights.
During its participation in the
one-month festival, the NIHR
published a coloring book on
children’s rights, which addresses
children about their rights in
simple language and with beautiful
drawings that combine entertainment
and education. Everyone
may get a copy of the coloring
book by visiting the festival’s

On this occasion, Ms. Maria
Khoury, Chairperson of the NIHR,
commended the virtual organization
of the Bahrain Summer
festival this year, in compliance
with the precautionary measures
and the rules of social distancing,
in light of the exceptional circumstances
witnessed by the whole
world, praising the role and
efforts of the Bahrain Authority
for Culture and Antiquities,
chaired by Her Excellency
Sheikha Mai Bint Mohammad Al-
Khalifa, in the preservation of the
cultural movement in Bahrain and
the enhancement of communication
between the Kingdom of
Bahrain and the States of the
world. Ms. Khoury expressed her
happiness that the NIHR is one of
the contributors to enriching the
program and activities of the
festival by promoting the culture
of human rights and spreading
awareness about it. The festival
was also attended by a number of
embassies and public and private
institutions in the Kingdom of
Bahrain.
