Reports
【Reflection】
As part of Theme Week on Co-creating Culture at Expo 2025
Osaka, the Algeria Pavilion hosted a conference on 30 April
led by Professor Hachi, Director of the Algerian Centre for
Prehistoric, Anthropological and Historical Research.
Entitled 'Algeria, Land of Beginnings', the
conference provided an engaging exploration of Algeria’s
historical and cultural legacy. Professor Hachi highlighted
the Ain Boucherit site, where tools dating back 2.4 million
years were discovered, illustrating Algeria’s pivotal role in
human origins. Adopting a historical and anthropological
perspective, Professor Hachi illuminated Algeria’s pivotal
position in human origins. He also emphasised the importance
of collective memory and knowledge transmission in
safeguarding intangible heritage.
The event attracted considerable interest from visitors and
was closely aligned with the spirit of Expo 2025 Osaka,
fostering intercultural dialogue and a shared appreciation of
global cultural heritage.
【Post EXPO Initiatives】
Building on the initiatives at Expo 2025 Osaka, Algeria aims
to continue promoting its rich culture and long history in
Japan. In particular, in collaboration with the Algerian
Embassy and related organisations, plans are underway to hold
exhibitions, lectures, and various cultural events to enhance
understanding of Algeria within Japanese society.
Among these efforts, particular emphasis is placed on
educational approaches targeting younger generations,
including the use of teaching materials and learning support
in schools. These initiatives are expected to provide
opportunities to foster intercultural understanding among
future generations and to build a foundation for sustainable
cultural exchange.
Furthermore, possibilities for academic collaboration and
joint research with Japanese universities and research
institutions are also being explored, aiming to share
knowledge internationally through culture.
These developments align closely with the spirit of
""co-creation"" championed by Expo 2025
Osaka and Kansai. They demonstrate Algeria’s proactive
commitment to viewing the Expo not as a one-time event but as
an ongoing dialogue through culture.
