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.

Over the course of four months, the workshop was successful in providing a participatory

environment that provided women writers with access to a variety of technical options for

storytelling. This included the choice of subject and title, the appropriate tense, and first- or

third-person narration. Trainees learned how to depict the character in the story, craft the plot,
and select a poignant ending that will be etched into the reader’s memory. The stories

discussed during the workshop covered a range of topics, including climate change. The topic

of climate change was chosen by DIPW as a motto for the current session in light of the

growing concern over climate change and the need to combine global efforts to address its

challenges as well as avoid its catastrophic effects on people and the environment for

sustainable development.
During MBRF’s visit to Kuwait, a high-level delegation from the Foundation, led by the CEO,

had a discussion with Dr. Khaled Mahdi, the Secretary-General of the Supreme Council for

Planning and Development, where the parties’ explored prospects for collaboration on

projects that would raise the level of knowledge of citizens in both countries. They also

discussed ways to share experiences and knowledge in the fields of education and scientific
research, as well as to develop strategies that improve the quality of education and advance

knowledge in the region. Furthermore, they also discussed the significance of coordinated

efforts in initiatives and projects that support the transfer and dissemination of knowledge in

the region.

The proposed partnership between the two parties is expected to contribute to the exchange

of resources and expertise in the implementation of joint educational and research projects,

the development of training programs, and the exchange of experiences between teachers,
trainers, and researchers. This will further contribute to advancing education and knowledge

and strengthening human capacities in both countries, thereby driving the region’s overall

sustainable development and innovation.

DIPW will provide training for young talents in writing arts and methods by continuing to host

numerous workshops in the UAE, Kuwait, Egypt, Tunisia, and Morocco. Since its inception in
