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.”
