Orange Egypt and UNESCO Empower Young Artists through the “Art Mentors” Program
In partnership with UNESCO, Orange Egypt supports the “Art Mentors” program, an initiative designed to engage art students, university students, and emerging creatives. The program aims to foster cultural exchange and highlight Egypt’s rich artistic heritage on the global stage.
Participants enjoy hands-on training in contemporary art and direct interaction with international artists. Upon completion, participants receive official certificates recognizing their creative contributions.
The program also features educational lectures, digital art seminars, and organized school and university visits—forming part of a broader vision to make art more accessible and inclusive while reflecting the cultural diversity of modern societies.
Orange Egypt’s Leadership Perspective
Maha Nagy, Chief Communications Officer at Orange Egypt, stated:
“At Orange, we believe that art is the language of the future, and that technology and art together create a more creative reality. We are proud to continue supporting initiatives such as the Cairo International Arts District, reflecting our commitment to empowering young artists and providing them with opportunities to share their talent and creativity locally and globally. Through these efforts, we aim to strengthen Egypt’s position as a vibrant cultural hub in the region and worldwide.”
Orange Egypt’s Legacy of Supporting Cultural and Social Initiatives
Orange has previously supported the “Le Printemps des Artistes” art and charity exhibition for three consecutive years under the patronage of the French Embassy in Egypt. This year’s edition brought together more than 79 artists from Egypt and around the world in a celebration of creativity and social solidarity.
Proceeds from the exhibition were directed to Samusocial International Égypte, a non-governmental organization dedicated to protecting and rehabilitating street children and young women in Cairo.
Through ongoing engagement in such initiatives, Orange Egypt reaffirms its strong commitment to art, culture, and social responsibility, emphasizing its belief in the power of creativity to make a positive impact on society.
