Dubai: Modhesh World now has a special reading corner for children that allows children and their parents to read and spend quality time together.
The Dubai Culture and Arts Authority (Dubai Culture), the emirate’s dedicated entity for culture, arts and heritage, launched the second edition of its reading corner at Modhesh World — Dubai’s ultimate indoor fun destination for families and kids, which runs until August 12.
Following the success of last year’s reading corner, the new edition features an expanded range of educational and entertainment activities for children alongside Dubai Summer Surprises at the Dubai World Trade Centre.
This year’s agenda includes an exciting range of additional workshops and activities. The library includes children’s books in both Arabic and English and is hosting reading workshops and sessions as well as educational games — all of which are held under the supervision of specialists.
The project aims to promote a healthy reading habit across the community and younger generations, while also giving the public an opportunity to benefit from fun and educational activities that are designed to improve the participants’ reading skills.
“With this initiative, we are giving families in Dubai and other emirates the ideal opportunity to nurture their children’s reading skills while also enjoying quality time together during the summer season,” said Dr Hessa Bin Masoud, director of Dubai Public Library at Dubai Culture.
Modhesh World is a key feature of Dubai Summer Surprises. The festival has become an extremely popular destination for family entertainment during the Dubai summer season, attracting over 500,000 visitors each year.
Dubai Culture aims to enhance the emirate’s cultural scene and draw attention to its rich heritage with a variety of initiatives that take place throughout the year. The authority’s mandate is to build bridges of constructive dialogue between different civilisations and cultures through enriching initiatives that benefit the emirate’s citizens, residents and visitors.
