Dubai, UAE, 26 September 2024- The Dubai International Program for Writing (DIPW), one of the most prominent

knowledge initiatives of the Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum Knowledge Foundation (MBRF), launched the first
phase of the ‘Writing Children's Stories’ workshop at the Mohammed bin Rashid Library, with the participation of 16
creative writers. Delivered by trainer Nadia Al Najjar, the workshop lasts for three months and focuses on the
development of children’s literature, further empowering young writers and new talents by providing them with the

necessary tools to transform their ideas into inspiring literary works for future generations.

The workshop aims to teach participants the elements and requirements of writing stories for children and provide
training on its techniques and skills. This contributes to the development of the trainees’ intellectual and cognitive
abilities and enhances the volume of literary contributors in this field of writing.

The second phase of the workshop kicks off in October 2024. During the workshop, participants will interactively

learn the characteristics of writing children’s art through brainstorming, and exchanging ideas and assessments,
starting from devising creative ideas to writing techniques, up to completing the work.

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.”
