intellectual and creative growth across the Arab world. The 'Children’s
Literature Workshop' demonstrates our strong belief in the value of
investing in emerging talent and equipping them with the skills
necessary to excel in specializedwriting. Such efforts are vital to
building knowledge-driven Arab societies that are ready to meet
future demands. We remain committed to developing innovative
programs that empower youth and make a meaningful contribution
to both the local and global literary and knowledge landscape.”

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.
