Professor Kristján Kristjánsson, Deputy Director of the Jubilee Centre, visited Saudi Arabia on April 25-28, at the invitation of the Al Ghad Foundation. Professor Kristjánsson attended a two-day event celebrating the opening of an Al Ghad Centre for Values Development, which has been established to support various youth development programmes in Saudi Arabia and to introduce character education into schools. The Jubilee Centre will be collaborating with the Foundation and a formal ceremony took place, attended by five ministers from the Saudi government and broadcast on Saudi TV, to celebrate this collaboration. The Centre will consult with the Al Ghad Foundation to design character-cultivating interventions for Saudi schools and engage in a further exchange of people and ideas. Discussions are now underway on the first steps to take this project forward.
