The Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum Knowledge Foundation (MBRF) has initiated the second
workshop of the Dubai International Programme for Writing (DIPW) in Tunisia. This workshop,
themed ‘Workshop on Creating Illustrations for Children’s Stories,’ is led by Dr. Wafa Thabet
Mezghani, a creative writing coach and professor at the Higher Institute of Technological Studies of
Sfax. The initiative aims to nurture young talent in children's literature.
Running until July 2025, this workshop includes twelve practical sessions for ten young Tunisian
and Arab writers passionate about children's literature. These sessions focus on enhancing literary
skills while preserving Arab authenticity. The programme aligns with DIPW's ongoing efforts to
cultivate a new generation of talented individuals in this field.

The workshop aims to enrich Arabic children’s literature with modern content that meets the needs
of today's children while maintaining cultural identity. It covers creative writing methods,
storytelling techniques for children, and narrative development aligned with contemporary cultural
trends. This approach ensures a balance between innovation and tradition.
