Dubai Culture and Arts Authority (Dubai Culture) has revealed the details of the ninth Reading Box, which will be held from October 9 to 18 at City Centre Mirdif. The event aims to expand the intellectual horizons of children and adults, encouraging them to read and explore the world of books, Emirates News Agency (WAM) reported Saturday.

This is part of Dubai Culture's commitment to supporting the National Literacy Strategy 2016–2026, which aims to embed cultural values within society and make reading a daily habit, it said.

The initiative, which falls under the umbrella of the School of Life initiative, features 55 inspiring sessions, poetry evenings and creative workshops. These activities will offer visitors the opportunity to enrich their knowledge, develop skills in storytelling, literary writing, and Arabic calligraphy, and engage in conversations with a select group of writers, intellectuals, poets, and heritage experts from the UAE and abroad.

Eiman Al Hammadi, Manager of Libraries Affairs Section at Dubai Culture, affirmed the importance of the initiative and its role in creating new avenues for knowledge enhancement among the community.

“Reading Box is an innovative and vital platform that spreads the culture of reading, encouraging individuals to access various knowledge sources, and enabling them to develop leadership and creative thinking skills through a rich program of sessions that highlight the vibrancy of Dubai's literary scene and its significant cultural momentum,” said Al Hammadi.
