The second paper was entitled: "Homeland of Its Biography” His Excellency Dr. Saud bin Hamid Al-Saidi. In this paper, Dr. Saud spoke about physical interactions with the homeland, referring to the biography which takes the form of a narrative biography in which the homeland experience is covered, in harmony with the experience of the citizen, and that its significance is represented in deepening the feelings of patriotism in the young.

He tackled this through three international and local experiences: Firstly, the experience of love in "Dagestan is My Country" by Rasoul Hamzatouf.

Secondly, the experience of war in "My life with Starvation, Love and War" by Aziz Diyaa.

Thirdly, the experience of development by Ghazi Al-Qasibi in two aspects: Firstly, the aspect of building and development in the book entitled "A Life in Management", and secondly the aspect of protection and affordance in the book entitled "In the Eye of the Capital".
