8/6/25, 1:33 PM MBRF's Dubai International Programme for Writing concludes 'Children's Literature Workshop' in Tunisia
Jamal bin Huwaireb, CEO of MBRF, said, "The initiatives of DIPW reflect the Foundation's core
mission of supporting 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 specialised writing. Such
efforts are vital to building knowledge-driven Arab societies that are ready to meet future

demands. We remain committed to developing innovative programmes 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.
