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.
