The King Salman Global Academy for Arabic Language (KSGAAL) has held a panel discussion on the second phase of the Arabic children's series, a KSGAAL cultural initiative. At Sunday's event, attended by authors, editors, illustrators, and language enthusiasts, KSGAAL Secretary-General Dr. Abdullah Al-Washmi stated that the goal is to deepen children's connection to the Arabic language, enhance linguistic and cultural content, and keep pace with modern educational and visual trends. Discussions reviewed the first phase of the series, addressing its successes and challenges, and explored how to improve the upcoming phase linguistically and educationally. Participants stressed that the second phase should focus on consolidating children's identity and pride in the Arabic language, while also expanding the series to include children aged 4-6 with rhythmic content and teenagers aged 13-15 with content that blends adventure and knowledge. To make the content more engaging, participants recommended diversifying topics to include science, technology, history, arts, and science fiction within interactive narrative contexts. They also recommended developing digital versions with augmented reality and using artificial intelligence to personalize the reading experience. The panel highlighted building collaborations with schools, libraries, and cultural centers, and transforming some stories into visual or theatrical works.
