Dubai for Culture offers innovative workshops through its School of Life project for individuals of all ages and backgrounds. The project revitalises the alleyways of Al Safa Art and Design Library, Al Twar, Al Mankhool, and Hatta Public Library, featuring diverse activities and sessions. The aim is to build cultural, creative, and life skills for the public, enabling them to explore Dubai's creative scene. This contributes to a sustainable creative environment that enriches the knowledge of talented individuals, hones their skills, and encourages community participation in the cultural and artistic sectors.
With the start of the new year, School of Life will present the theme ‘Design & Jewelry’ in January 2024 filled with inspiring educational sessions and interactive workshops. These will be facilitated through chess, leadership, jewelry, visual arts and languages clubs. Attendees at Dubai's public libraries will have the opportunity to discover gold selection techniques, the art of renewing old materials and transforming them into unique pieces, as well as techniques of drawing and jewelry designing and gemstones. Additionally, valuable books, the art of storytelling, and more will be discussed.
