Queen Rania Launches YouTube Channel to Break Down Stereotypes

Queen Rania has launched an official YouTube page with an exclusive message on
the importance of cross-cultural dialogue in breaking down stereotypes

AMMAN, Jordan, March 31 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Using one of the most
cyber-savvy platforms for dialogue, Her Majesty Queen Rania Al Abdullah
launched her presence on YouTube with an urgent message to the world's young
people, Monday, asking them to join in a global dialogue to recognize our
commonalities.

"In a world where it's so easy to connect to one another, we still remain very
much disconnected. There's a whole world of wonder out there that we cannot
appreciate with stereotypes," said the Queen.

The Queen urged viewers to respond with their opinions of the Middle East and
to acknowledge stereotypes they've heard of Arabs and Muslims. The Queen said
she would work towards breaking down these preconceptions over the next few
months.

"I want people to know the real Arab world - to see it unedited, unscripted
and unfiltered - to see the personal side of my region - to know the places
and faces and rituals and culture that shape the part of the world I call
home," she said.

The conversation will continue until International Youth Day, on August 12.
Until then, Queen Rania hopes that YouTube users all over the world will
actively work together to identify misconceptions and seek out the true images
of the Middle East.
