International Program for Writing

His Excellency Jamal bin Huwaireb, CEO of Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum Knowledge
Foundation (MBRF), met with the female participants of the Dubai International Program for

Writing (DIPW) at the ‘Children’s Story Writing’ workshop held at TAQA Productions’ Studio in
Mirqab, Kuwait.

The meeting came as part of the MBRF’s visit to the State of Kuwait. During the meeting,

which was also attended by Salem Al Owais, Head of DIPW, and Hooda Shawa, trainer and
writer, H.E. Bin Huwaireb recognized the efforts of the participants in crafting children-focused

stories that capture their attention and pique their interest in both writing and reading.

His Excellency Jamal bin Huwaireb said, “Organizing DIPW workshops and sessions comes in
line with our strategy to develop creative writing among participants, improving their writing

skills, particularly for children’s stories. By doing so, DIPW seeks to produce literature works
that grab the interests of children as well as cultivate and develop their passion for reading
and knowledge. The visit is a step towards strengthening bilateral collaboration and advancing

the MBRF’s mission to foster cross-border knowledge exchange and promote creativity among
young minds.”

The sessions of the ‘Children’s Story Writing’ workshop in Kuwait produced six stories written

by DIPW’s trainees. This includes ‘Azif Al Mujazef’ by Jehan Ali; ‘A Tiger in Diwaniyah’, by
Sarah Abdelhamid; ‘Trouble in Neighbors’ Garden!’ by Nesma Sharif; ‘Balloon with Eyes’ by

Balqis Haider; ‘Bayyud’ by Fajr Sabah; and ‘Dafdoufa Jumps in Joy’ by Noura Didan.
