Noor Al Ali, President of the Emirates Global Youth Council in Australia, said: “Knowledge
serves as a fundamental pillar in the development of youth, particularly for those pursuing

their education abroad. The council is honored to be part of this initiative, which serves as a
vital platform for cross-cultural interaction with diverse global communities. Additionally, it

encourages meaningful exchanges of knowledge and expertise between Emirati youth and their
Arab and international counterparts, further broadening their horizons across various fields. By

fostering a dynamic environment for learning and development, this initiative empowers
students to explore new ideas while nurturing creativity and innovative thinking. The

opportunity to engage with diverse perspectives significantly enriches their knowledge base,
leaving a lasting impact on both their academic and professional journeys.”

The Knowledge Lounge is one of MBRF’s key initiatives dedicated to knowledge sharing. It
serves as an ideal platform for organizing expert-led sessions across multiple disciplines,

further creating opportunities for knowledge dissemination. Through interactive sessions, it
connects readers with authors, personal development coaches, and specialists, encouraging in-

depth discussions and the exchange of ideas. The initiative actively promotes reading as an
essential daily habit, enabling participants to refine their analytical and critical reading skills

while equipping them to engage in intellectual discussions.

Beyond promoting a reading culture, the Knowledge Lounge aims to be a hub for innovative

ideas and talent, bringing together young minds to foster creativity and help build knowledge-
driven, dialogue-focused communities.

As part of its ongoing efforts, MBRF hosted over 40 engaging knowledge sessions last year

under the ‘Knowledge Lounge’ initiative. These sessions covered a wide range of topics and
featured renowned figures from the literary and publishing sectors. MBRF also evaluated

numerous prominent books in literary and scientific fields.
