Dubai Culture and Arts Authority has announced the launch of its annual \u2018Our Summer is Art & Culture\u2019 programme, which is organised by Dubai Public Library and will run from 14th July to 9th August across six branches: Al Twar, Al Rashidiya, Hor Al Anz, Al Mankhool, Umm Suqeim and Hatta.<\/p>\n
The programme is designed for children between the ages of 6 to 12 and includes specialised interactive workshops, various creative, innovation, art and scientific activities, and a number of reading and storytelling workshops. The activities – which will be presented in both Arabic and English – aim to encourage children to adopt reading as a natural habit in their daily lives and develop their skills in scientific research, rhetoric and writing.<\/p>\n
Dr. Hissa bin Masoud, Director of Dubai Public Library at Dubai Culture, said: “We look forward to improving students’ skills and helping to reveal their multiple talents via a series of rich intellectual activities. The activities also support the relationship students have with reading and allow them to make use of their annual vacation in a cultural atmosphere that is fun and informative, combining culture and science with arts, entertainment and play.”<\/p>\n
She added that the activities will contribute to supporting the National Reading Strategy 2026, and enhance the knowledge and skills of the new generation.<\/p>\n
This year’s programme will include two camps, the first of which will be held between 14th and 26th July from 10:00am to 1:30pm and 4:00 to 7:30. The second, will be held during the same hours from 28th July to 9th August.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
