Zareef praised the collaboration as a vital contribution to

elevating Arabic globally, enhancing cultural connections

and intellectual engagement.
This launch follows earlier international expansions to

Sydney and Melbourne in March 2025, in cooperation with

the Federal Youth Foundation of the UAE and the Global
Youth Council in Australia.

Jamal bin Huwaireb, CEO of MBRF, said the expansion

aligns with the Foundation’s goal to connect Arab readers

worldwide and strengthen the presence of Arabic in global

discourse. He added that the initiative supports knowledge
sustainability and nurtures creative, knowledge-based

societies.

Throughout July, the Knowledge Lounge is hosting
sessions across the UAE. These include workshops in

Dubai at the Mohammed bin Rashid Library, literary

discussions in Abu Dhabi, Khor Fakkan, Al Ain, Sharjah,

Ajman, Fujairah and Ras Al Khaimah, and youth-focused
sessions in partnership with Al-Naqsh platform and the

Dubai International Program for Writing.

In collaboration with the Digital Knowledge Center,

sessions will also explore topics in digital transformation
and cosmology. Internationally, a session in Australia will

examine the book Soft Power: Volunteer Work and

Humanitarian Giving Following Zayed’s Footsteps by Adel
Al Shamry.

The Knowledge Lounge continues to expand its reach,

uniting communities through reading and fostering

meaningful cultural exchange.
