children’s art through brainstorming, and exchanging ideas and assessments,

Commenting on the workshop, trainer Nadia Al Najjar said: “The ‘Writing
Children’s Stories’ workshop stands out as one of the most creative and
interactive initiatives that is a testament to the MBRF’s commitment to
enhancing the skills of creative writers. This includes writing children’s stories,
for which the MBRF is dedicated to upgrading participants’ horizons and know-
how in order to create stories based on sound and integral literary principles
and techniques.”
She added: “Through the workshop, we aim to highlight the concept of writing
children’s stories as an art form and a literary technique, with an integrated
structure and construction. This involves addressing essential elements required
for a writer to create a story that caters to the developmental needs and
awareness of the age group. The goal is to present ideas in a simple, engaging
way that promotes understanding and interaction with children. This includes
understanding the methods for research the subject, ensuring its relevance to
the child’s world and interests, building relatable characters, setting time and
space, formulating the plot, and using imagination to create visual scenes.
Additionally, it focuses on the technical skills and storytelling techniques
necessary to craft an all-round interesting story.”
