Dubai Culture presents a series of creative workshops for visitors to its public libraries as part of the ‘Library Talks’ initiative, under the umbrella of its ‘School of Life’ project. Throughout November, Dutch author and illustrator Eva Eland will lead three workshops, inspiring children and youth to unleash their talents and acquire new life skills.

On 20 November, the ‘Where Happiness Begins’ workshop at the House of Wisdom Library in collaboration with the UAE Board on Books for Young People (UAEBBY) will teach children to design postcards that capture joyful moments, encouraging creative expression. On 21 November, the ‘Where is the Cat?’ workshop at Al Mankhool Public Library will help young participants develop self-expression by understanding personality differences and others’ needs through interactive activities, enhancing their imaginative experiences. On 22 and 23 November, Al Safa Art and Design Library will host the ‘Crafting Powerful Stories: Emotion in Picture Book Writing & Illustration’ workshop, giving participants the chance to explore innovative methods in writing and illustration. This workshop will guide them in combining colours, symbols, and illustrations with text to create stories that reflect their personal experiences, ideas, and emotions in unique ways.
