The Diwaniya, a unifying cultural practice in Kuwait

UNESCO: Representative List of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity - 2025 URL: https://ich.unesco.org/en/RL/02281 Description : The Diwaniya is a space where men of all ages and backgrounds come together to talk, connect and share ideas. It can take place in a home, a public space, or even a tent, and serves as a key setting for family members, neighbours and friends to discuss topics such as family matters, community issues, politics and current events. While the gatherings can be small, they often grow larger during special occasions such as Ramadan, weddings, funerals or election campaigns.
