The events, designed for various age groups across cities in the UAE and beyond, blend knowledge-sharing activities, creative workshops, and thought-provoking discussions, combining engagement, expertise, and innovation.

The agenda commenced with the Knowledge Lounge in Canada, featuring a discussion session on the educational book “Our Children Are Gems, But We Are Blacksmiths,” alongside the “What Are You Reading?’ activity, which encouraged participants to share and explore valuable book recommendations through short Instagram videos.

Other highlights included the “Writer of the Future” workshop, aimed at developing young people’s writing skills, and the “Art of Public Speaking” workshop, designed to build participants’ confidence in communication.

As part of MBRF's “Our Knowledge Summer” initiative, young readers took part in a session exploring “The Little Prince” book, using the story to reflect on human values.

The “We Create an Illustrated Story” workshop sparked children's visual imagination and creativity.
