Since its inception, the Al-Jisr Association for Communication and Educational Cooperation has strived to transform the walls and fences of a number of schools in the region into creative and attractive artistic canvases by painting numerous murals and frescoes, and drawing the attention of young people and the educational community to the role of the visual arts in enhancing knowledge and culture, developing taste, refining the mind, promoting a culture of creativity, initiative and participation, and nurturing generations who are aware of the importance of the visual arts and seek to learn and practise them.
