The second edition comes as a natural extension of the question of guidance, turning to the field where a person is shaped: education. Does education form a human being, or just deliver a subject? Does it shape awareness, or pile up information?
The first edition was the founding launch of the project. It began from the greatest question to renew society’s connection with the Holy Qur’an — not as a text that is only recited, but as a book of guidance, building, and awareness.
The first edition of Aqwam Qeela was the founding launch of the project. It began from the greatest question: How do we find guidance through the Qur'an?
This edition came to renew society's connection with the Holy Qur'an — not as a text that is only recited, but as a book of guidance, building, and awareness, and as a complete reference that lights a person's path in their worship, their behavior, and their relationship with themselves and their society.
The first edition set the compass that Aqwam Qeela follows every year: that the Holy Qur’an is the origin by which issues are read, in whose light questions are built, and through which the paths of impact are guided.
Second Edition — 2026
EDUCATION: FROM FORMATION TO EMPOWERMENT
The second edition of Aqwam Qeela comes as a natural extension of the question of guidance and reference. It turns to the field in which a person is shaped from their very beginnings: education.
The question in this edition does not stop at curricula, classrooms, or grades. It goes beyond that to a deeper meaning:
Does education merely transmit knowledge, or does it build the human being?
Does it accumulate information, or does it create awareness?
Does it connect knowledge with purpose and action, or isolate it from people and life?
From here came the second edition under the theme "Education: From Formation to Empowerment" — to rethink the roles of the teacher, the learner, the family, the environment, and the curriculum as integrated pillars in building the human being, rooting their identity, and enabling them to carry their responsibility in life.

WHEN THE VISION BECOMES AN EXPERIENCE
Takween City is the interactive space of the second edition of Aqwam Qeela. It embodies the idea of “Education: From Formation to Empowerment” through applied models, initiatives, and experiences that place the visitor before the impact of education on building the human being. The city is organised into five interconnected formations: the formation of the teacher, the learner, the environment, the curriculum, and the family — so the visitor discovers how these pillars come together to shape the educational experience.
From a transmitter of knowledge to a role model, an educator, and a maker of meaning.
02
Formation of the learner
From a recipient of information to a discerning person who understands, chooses, and acts.
03
Formation of the environment
From a place of learning to a nurturing system that supports the student’s growth and development.
04
Formation of the curriculum
From study content to a framework that builds the mind, sets direction, and connects knowledge with life.
05
Formation of the family
From following academic results to nurturing identity, values, and balanced growth.
Takween City is not built on plain commercial display, but on living experiences that can be understood, engaged with, and measured — adding real value to the visitor and opening paths for institutions to learn, develop, and partner.
