Children’s Stories’ workshop
By Middle East News 247 June 20, 2024
The Dubai International Program for Writing (DIPW), a leading initiative by the Mohammed bin Rashid Al
Maktoum Knowledge Foundation (MBRF), successfully concluded the first phase of its ‘Illustrations for
Children’s Stories’ workshop, which aimed at providing young talents with the opportunity to develop their
creative abilities.
The workshop was held in person at the Mohammed bin Rashid Library (MBRL). It will continue virtually in
the second phase until the ten participants have completed their projects.
His Excellency Jamal bin Huwaireb, CEO of the MBRF, said: “The success of the workshop so far is a
true reflection of the MBRF’s dedication to developing the creative abilities of young talents and motivating
them to fully unleash the power of their imaginations. Furthermore, it also emphasizes the MBRF’s
commitment to enhancing the participants’ skills to illustrate children’s stories by employing innovative and
creative methods. The primary goal is to create artworks and publications that are children-friendly,
encourage young people to develop a passion for books, and foster a reading culture among them.”
H.E. added: “The next phases of the workshop will place a major focus on offering participants additional
training on developing more skills and techniques in order to further enable them to achieve the desired
outcomes.”
