Dubai Culture and Arts Authority (Dubai Culture) is set to launch an engaging programme in October through its School of Life initiative, themed The Beauty of Calligraphy. The initiative will feature 31 interactive workshops and creative sessions across Dubai Public Library branches, aimed at fostering creativity and cultural appreciation among participants. Attendees will have the opportunity to explore the Emirati dialect, delve into the art of calligraphy, and develop various skills such as photography, sustainable design, and art appreciation.

Key activities include the Calligraphy Club sessions at Al Twar Public Library, where Abdulrazzak Almahmoud will teach the Diwani Jali script, while Ghaleb Hawila will offer a modern approach to calligraphy. Participants can also explore ornamentation with Mousab Doori or learn printmaking in a workshop by experts from thejamjar. Additionally, the Language Club will host sessions on Emirati dialect led by the Allahjah Institute, guiding attendees through grammar and sentence structure.

The programme also features art, wellness, and photography workshops, with sessions ranging from Palm Tree Calligraphy at Al Safa Art & Design Library to Pickle-Making and Modern Calligraphy with Traditional Roots at Al Mankhool Public Library. Moreover, participants can engage in activities like chess, film production, scriptwriting, and etiquette training, making the initiative a rich educational and cultural experience for all ages.
