Press Release

Apart from novel writing, DIPW conducts workshops on various types of translation, children’s
literature, and literary criticism. Through these workshops, DIPW seeks to support writers and

young talents across the Arab world, as well as to foster a passion for reading books while
strengthening the role of literature in society.

In the past years, DIPW has hosted similar training workshops across different Arab countries

like Kuwait, Tunisia, Morocco, and Egypt. It intends to expand its reach beyond the Arab world

under its Exchange of Writers category. In alignment with this, it has welcomed authors from
Germany and Japan as well as delegated young Emirati talents to Japan to explore and

document Japanese culture.

Over the last decade, DIPW has trained over 400 young people and published approximately
200 books authored by its participants. These books covered a broad array of literary genres,

such as novels, stories, travel literature, literary criticism, translation, and children’s stories.
Some of these publications even received prestigious accolades.
