Toronto, July 29, 2025 – The Europe Today: The Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum Knowledge Foundation (MBRF) has expanded its
global outreach with the launch of the Knowledge Lounge initiative in Canada, reinforcing its mission to promote Arabic reading and
foster sustainable knowledge development across international communities.
The inaugural session of the Canadian edition was held in Toronto, in partnership with the Mosaic Foundation, and featured
distinguished speakers including Hussein Darwish from the Dubai International Program for Writing and Hind Zareef, Director of the
Mosaic Foundation.

Hussein Darwish emphasized that the Knowledge Lounge provides an open space for dialogue, bringing together readers, authors, and
experts. “This initiative is founded on the belief that knowledge shapes individuals and societies,” he stated, highlighting the platform’s
goal of encouraging analytical and critical thinking.

Hind Zareef lauded the collaboration, describing it as a “vital step in enhancing the global presence of the Arabic language” while also
promoting cultural exchange and intellectual engagement among diverse communities.
The Canadian launch marks another milestone in MBRF’s international Knowledge Lounge expansion, following successful sessions
held in Sydney and Melbourne in March 2025. These events were conducted in collaboration with the Federal Youth Foundation of the
UAE and the Global Youth Council in Australia.
