‘Book Criticism’ workshop

By Middle East News 247 February 29, 2024

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.

His Excellency Jamal bin Huwaireb, CEO of the MBRF, said, “The ‘Book Criticism’ workshop had a
significant role in teaching young individuals how to critique books constructively, improve their creative
writing abilities, and develop their analytical skills. The workshop served as a vital platform for the exchange

of knowledge and guided participants to gain a deeper understanding of various pieces of literature. Through
