Dubai, UAE: The Dubai International Program for Writing (DIPW), one of the leading knowledge
projects of the Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum Knowledge Foundation (MBRF), concluded its ‘Book
Criticism’ workshop, which was held virtually under the supervision of Dr. Saleh Hwaidi. The workshop

aimed to impart critical and analytical skills to participants and provide them with the necessary
knowledge to analyze literary discourse using both theoretical and practical methodologies.

Several literary texts, including poetry and fiction, were discussed during the workshop, and participants
with expertise in critical writing and book reviews were asked to offer in-depth readings, assessments,
and opinions on the overall significance of each work. The exercise was designed to help them

concentrate on the technical side of their literary practices and interests. The workshop also included
meaningful interactions with participants in order to promote reading habits among the younger
generation and highlight the power of literature in shaping young minds.
