Cultural Background
In the Levant, people often use 'Ghaniyya' to describe a meal or a musical performance, emphasizing the 'richness' of the ingredients or the complexity of the 'Maqam' (musical scale). In corporate and government sectors, 'Tajriba Ghaniyya' is a buzzword for 'capacity building.' It is used to describe the value of international partnerships. Due to French influence, the concept of 'enrichissement' is very strong. 'Ghaniyya' is used frequently in academic circles to describe intellectual exchange. In literature, this phrase is used to describe the 'human experience' (التجربة الإنسانية) as a whole, often in a philosophical sense.
