(MENAFN- Orient Planet Group) Dubai, UAE, 15 August 2025- ‘Knowledge
Lounge,’ one of the many innovative initiatives of the Mohammed bin Rashid Al
Maktoum Knowledge Foundation (MBRF), is organizing a rich line-up of events
for August, aligning with its mission to foster a sustainable, knowledge-based

society and embed quality reading into everyday life. The events, designed for
various age groups across cities in the UAE and beyond, blend knowledge-
sharing activities, creative workshops, and thought-provoking discussions,
combining engagement, expertise, and innovation.
The agenda commenced with the Knowledge Lounge in Canada, featuring a

Blacksmiths,’ alongside the ‘What Are You Reading?’ activity, which encouraged

participants to share and explore valuable book recommendations through short
Instagram videos. Other highlights included the ‘Writer of the Future’ workshop,
aimed at developing young people’s writing skills, and the ‘Art of Public Speaking’
workshop, designed to build participants’ confidence in communication.
As part of MBRF’s ‘Our Knowledge Summer’ initiative, young readers took part in

a session exploring ‘The Little Prince’ book, using the story to reflect on human
values. The ‘We Create an Illustrated Story’ workshop sparked children’s visual
imagination and creativity. Meanwhile, the Youth Knowledge Club hosted a
discussion titled ‘Artificial Intelligence and Literature: Challenges and
Opportunities,’ addressing the convergence of emerging technologies with
creative writing. The Knowledge Lounge featured a discussion on the novel
‘Azazel’ in Al Ain.
Alexandria hosted the ‘Book from My Library’ session, as part of its efforts to

promote knowledge engagement beyond the UAE. Activities continued with the

calligraphy and fostering their aesthetic appreciation. In Sharjah and Ajman,
