IRCICA, Research Center for Islamic History, Art and Culture, hosted an International Symposium on 5 September 2010 in Istanbul, Turkey. The conference brought together ministers from the OIC Member States and Observer States together with specialists from universities, heads and members of governmental and non-governmental organisations, and representatives of Muslim communities all over the world. The participants deliberated on the following subjects:
a. Principles, scope, perspective and guidelines of the Year’s program
b. Possible events and activities
c. Activities that are already implemented, planned and proposed by the Member States, national, regional and international organizations
d. Modalities of organisation, implementation, cooperation, communication and highlighting of the results of the Year’s activities.

A rich exhibition of Islamic Art was staged and enjoyed by the Muslim Community present.

Mr. Dawood Auleear’s request to IRCICA for a replica of the event to be staged in Mauritius was studied. Since some of paintings and scriptures were unic, Organisers did not want to take the chance of their loss or destruction.
