In this context, the Director General of Preparatory and Secondary Education, Rim Maaroufi, stated to TAP Agency that this event, which was attended by 52 students representing the 26 regional education commissions with a total of 47 works in competition, aims to reinforce awareness of the importance of heritage, deepen the link between young generations and their civilizational heritage, and encourage students to discover the monuments of their regions and present them according to their own artistic vision.

Regarding the future prospects of the laureates of the "Ambassadors of Museums" title, Maaroufi specified that the initiative will go beyond the simple framework of distinction to value and promote these productions and documentary capsules, made with professionalism and quality by the students themselves, through their availability to the Ministry of Tourism to contribute to the promotion and valorization of Tunisian archaeological and historical heritage.
