DAL Cultural Forum
Beyond its core operational activities, DAL has always worked to bridge cultural gaps and help others to better understand the roots of Sudanese arts, music, and poetry. DAL Group embodies diversity in every sense, and we strive to reflect that through our external activities.
The DAL Cultural Forum (DCF) was founded on the 29th of November 2007. It is an initiative to introduce different cultural agendas to the employees of DAL Group, their families, DAL Group business partners, and special interest groups including music and art schools, various cultural centres, organisations, as well as NGOs.
