MBRF’s Dubai International Programme for Writing

launches ‘Book Criticism’ workshop in Jordan

The Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum Knowledge Foundation (MBRF) has introduced a 'Book
Criticism Workshop' in Jordan. This initiative is part of the Dubai International Programme for
Writing (DIPW), aiming to cultivate Arab talent by enhancing their skills in knowledge development
and dissemination. The workshop focuses on improving participants' reading and writing abilities,
particularly in literary narration and criticism.

Participants will learn to master four levels of reading: elementary, inspectional, analytical, and
syntopical. The workshop also aims to enhance writing skills across various forms, such as artistic
summaries, book reviews, articles, and reports. It guides participants in preparing study outlines,
drafting research papers, and authoring books using a structured approach.

This workshop uniquely integrates artificial intelligence (AI) tools like ChatGPT and DeepSeek.
These technologies assist in accelerating recall, documentation, and text generation but do not
perform deep critical analysis. By managing preliminary tasks, they allow researchers to focus on
advanced work, redefining intellectual creativity boundaries in the AI era.

Dr. Jamal Maqableh from Hashemite University leads the workshop. He stated that it offers young
people a chance to develop skills and expand intellectual horizons. "This motivational workshop is
a part of MBRF’s constant efforts to empower and support literature enthusiasts," he said.
Participants can interact with authors and gain insights into different literary forms and styles.

The workshop includes reading books, presentations, discussions, debates, follow-ups, and
multimedia recordings. It aims to equip participants with skills for deep reading and precise writing
through an integrated training regimen that progresses from comprehension to critical evaluation.
