Visitors to SCRF 2022 can participate in a wide array of creative actvites SPL has designed to bring children and books together. These include storytelling sessions, cultural activities and workshops which will be held throughout the day, and target the age groups of 7 - 12 and 13 - 17 years. All these sessions, which will be organised in the morning as well as the evening throughout the duration of the 12-day event running in Expo Centre Sharjah until May 22, have been designed by SPL to equip children with cognitive skills, to unleash their creativity and highlight the importance of books as a key knowledge source.
