"Little Writers" translates Sharjah Children's vision
The event took place on Wednesday, May 21, at the Kalba Literary Council, with the participation of more than 60 children from the Eastern Region. The initiative featured an inspiring panel discussion presented by the children who won the "Voices of Future Generations" competition across the Middle East: Saud Al Kaabi, Noura Al Mushtaghel, and Maktoum Al Mazrouei. They presented their winning stories, which addressed environmental and development issues related to sustainability goals, affirming children's ability to express their visions for a more balanced and just future. This distinguished participation is the result of the specialised training they received at Sharjah Children, which aims to develop their critical thinking and creative writing skills, empowering them to use expression tools to make a real difference in their communities. "Storyteller" workshop The event included a "Storyteller" workshop, in which Halima Al Kaabi presented her story "Safa and the Angry Sea," which focused on environmental awareness, the dangers of marine pollution, and the individual's role in protecting beaches and marine life through an innovative story that conveys a powerful message and social responsibility. Experts from the "Voices of Future Generations" competition team also participated in presenting a "Creative Writing" workshop, which addressed storytelling techniques and how to connect stories to the Sustainable Development Goals by developing meaningful characters and constructing plots that touch on reality and inspire change. The workshop provided the children with a unique opportunity to acquire artistic tools and enhance their self-expression skills in an impactful manner. In the same context, members of the Kalba Children's Centre presented the play "Flower Village," which addressed environmental themes in a dramatic style, promoting positive values and urging the preservation of nature, within an engaging and interactive setting. 'Little Writers" The "Little Writers" initiative reflected Sharjah Children's vision of empowering children to express their thoughts and opinions with awareness and confidence, and providing them with the tools that make writing an effective means of positive change. It also provided them with a stimulating educational environment, enabling them to interact with young and expert writers and strengthening their confidence that their ideas deserve to be told and heard. It's worth noting that the initiative was organised in cooperation with the Emirates Literature Foundation and the Kalba Literary Council, affiliated with the Department of Culture, as part of Sharjah Children's efforts to raise a balanced generation that possesses awareness and imagination, and is capable of positively interacting with the issues of the present and the future.
