8/6/25, 1:30 PM MBRF's Dubai International Programme for Writing concludes 'Children's Literature Workshop' in Tunisia
The workshop consisted of four in-person training sessions, each lasting over three days and combining practical
and theoretical exercises. Aimed at writers across all skill levels, from aspiring authors to experienced professionals,
the sessions covered a wide range of key topics. These included the history of children's literature, with a special
emphasis on Arabic literature, as well as literary genres, age-specific content, and the importance of pre-writing
planning.

Participants also explored character development, setting, plot structure, narrative styles, and perspectives. They
received valuable guidance on titling, editing, book cover design, building an author brand, and marketing.

This workshop is the second edition held in Tunisia and the third across the broader North Africa. It also featured
remote monitoring, which included reviewing participants' manuscripts and providing guidance on the self-editing
process. This hybrid approach allowed trainers to deliver high-quality mentorship, helping participants produce
polished content that meets the standards of both Arab and international libraries.
