The Abu Dhabi Arabic Language Center (ALC) has signed a strategic Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with the Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum Knowledge Foundation (MBRF) to enhance collaboration across various cultural and intellectual fields, opening new prospects for supporting youth cultural engagement.

Under the terms of the MoU, the Foundation will offer ALC members specialized training programs, developed in collaboration with the United Nations Development Program (UNDP), to enhance participants’ skills and capabilities, Emirates News Agency (WAM) reported Wednesday.

The partnership also sets the stage for fruitful cooperation in the field of translation. Talented Emirati graduates of MBRF’s Translation Program contribute to the ALC’s Kalima Translation Project.

Moreover, the two organizations will coordinate efforts to nominate outstanding participants from MBRF’s creative content development programs for the Center’s literary awards and research grants, in an effort to support Arabic content and creativity, WAM said.

They will also collaborate on print and digital publishing, providing integrated services such as typesetting, layout, translation, design, and printing, while committing to international quality standards at competitive prices.

The MoU was signed during the ‘Arabian Days’ Festival by Dr. Ali bin Tamim, Chairman of the Abu Dhabi Arabic Language Center, and Jamal bin Huwaireb, CEO of the Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum Knowledge Foundation.
