skill. Furthermore, Shawa shed light on the significance of gaining cognitive tools and techniques, which she
referred to as ‘tools in the box,’ to build a new narrative world in which participants explore and discover their

unique writing styles and voices.

Shawa stated that these resources include both theoretical and cognitive facets of choosing carefully and

artistically while crafting narratives. These choices comprise selecting the topic and title, finding the ideal
chronological structure for the text, choosing the appropriate pronoun formula, depicting characters
effectively, developing the plot or climax, and selecting a memorable and impactful ending. In addition, she

highlighted the relevance of effective storytelling as well as the best practices like integrating action verbs,
seamless transition between narration and dialogue, engaging the senses, and using techniques to create an
interactive and compelling narrative.

In addition, she emphasized the diverse topics covered in the stories, with some particularly focusing on the
themes linked to climate change. In line with its aim to raise awareness of climate change challenges, DIPW

consciously selected climate change as its key focal area for this edition. It underscores the need for
promoting collaborative efforts to address the challenges of climate change and prevent their potential impact

on both humans and the environment to attain sustainable development.

His Excellency Jamal bin Huwaireb, CEO of the MBRF, stressed that hosting the workshops and sessions of

DIPW comes in line with the MBRF’s aim to enhance cognitive awareness, develop writing skills, hone
narrative writing talents, and encourage a reading and writing culture across the region, particularly among
children and the youth.

Furthermore, H.E. applauded the successful conclusion of this edition of DIPW’s workshop organized in
Kuwait. The culmination of this achievement was the release of a collection of short stories that will enhance

the diversity of Arabic narratives.

The Children’s Literature Workshop is conducted in line with DIPW, which seeks to empower young talents,

develop creative skills, and enhance the value of Arabic writing both regionally and globally. To attain these
goals, the program continuously organizes various activities and events.
