MBRF launches ‘Knowledge Lounge’ in Canada to promote

Arabic language globally

By PR News Desk 29/07/2025

The Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum Knowledge Foundation (MBRF) has launched its ‘Knowledge Lounge’ initiative in Canada,
marking a significant step in its efforts to cultivate a culture of Arabic reading. The move also aligns with the initiative’s mission to
encourage sustainable knowledge development and foster analytical and critical thinking across diverse communities, both
regionally and globally.

The launch was inaugurated with an initial introductory session held in Toronto, in partnership with the Mosaic Foundation. The
event featured Hussein Darwish from the Dubai International Program for Writing (DIPW) and Hind Zareef, Director of the Mosaic
Foundation. During the session, Hussein Darwish emphasized the Knowledge Lounge as a community-driven knowledge initiative
rooted in the belief that knowledge plays a key role in shaping individuals and societies. It also provides a platform for open
discussions and interactions among readers, authors, researchers, and experts from various fields.
Hind Zareef expressed pride in the Mosaic Foundation’s partnership with MBRF, highlighting it as a key contribution to the world of
reading and a significant step in showcasing the Arabic language globally. She also emphasized the importance of knowledge-
driven collaborations in raising intellectual standards and improving the reading preferences of the Mosaic Foundation’s members.
Additionally, she stressed the importance of strengthening communication with the Arab world through MBRF and its role in
nurturing strong emotional bonds and fostering a shared sense of belonging to a rich civilization that has historically linked East
with West and North with South.
