Running until July 2025, the workshop is attended by 10 creative writers. It will include twelve
detailed, in-person practical sessions for young Tunisian and Arab individuals who are interested in
children’s literature and passionate about writing.
The workshop focuses on boosting the literary skills of these individuals in alignment with modern
language standards and the goal of preserving Arab authenticity.

Jamal bin Huwaireb, CEO of the MBRF, said, “Through such initiatives, we seek to underscore our
vision for Arab literary production and to foster innovation in the children’s literature field. We
strongly believe that investing in young talents and directing them towards specialised writing fields
is the key to creating a strong Arab knowledge society, capable of navigating global transformations.
Through the second edition of DIPW, we reaffirm our commitment to launching top-notch training
workshops that reinforce the DIPW’s substantial role in empowering youth and enriching the
knowledge landscape both regionally and globally.”

Furthermore, the workshop seeks to contribute to enhancing Arabic children’s literature with
modern and creative content that aligns with the needs of 21st-century children while balancing
renewal with the preservation of cultural identity. It also includes multiple pillars that cover creative
writing methods, child-oriented storytelling techniques, and the advancement of narratives in line
with modern cultural and knowledge trends.

DIPW continues its relentless efforts to support and promote the literary landscape across the Arab
world by improving writing skills, developing the capabilities of young writers, and offering
platforms for them to publish their literary works.

These efforts will play a key role in building a new generation of creative authors and translators
while providing opportunities for the interaction of Arabic intellectual and literary works with their
global counterparts.
