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.”
DIPW is one of the leading knowledge projects launched by the MBRF, which aims to motivate and empower
young talents in the field of writing. It seeks to support talented writers and creators and enhance their
knowledge through training workshops in various literary and knowledge fields, further enabling them to
reinforce their role as active contributors to their communities.
