Mohammed Bin Rashid Library Concludes 'Let's Have Fun in Arabic' Programme to Promote Arabic Language Learning

Dubai, UAE, 23 July 2026: Mohammed Bin Rashid Library, in collaboration with Nahki Arabi Centre, has concluded the 'Let's Have Fun in Arabic' programme, held over 11 days as part of its summer programme for children aged 5 to 12. The initiative was designed to foster children's connection with the Arabic language, develop their linguistic skills through engaging educational experiences that combine learning with enjoyment, and provide an inspiring environment where they can discover the richness of Arabic while nurturing their creativity.

The programme welcomed around 130 children from diverse nationalities, including non-native Arabic speakers alongside Arabic-speaking children seeking to further develop their language skills and strengthen their confidence in communicating in Arabic. Designed to accommodate different proficiency levels, the programme offered an interactive learning experience that combined structured instruction with practical application.

On this occasion, Dr Mohammed Al Mazrooei, Board Member of the Mohammed Bin Rashid Al Maktoum Library Foundation, said: "At Mohammed Bin Rashid Library, we are committed to delivering high-quality programmes that promote the Arabic language among younger generations and strengthen their connection with it through innovative educational experiences that combine learning with enjoyment. 'Let's Have Fun in Arabic' reflects our vision of creating interactive learning environments that support both native and non-native Arabic-speaking children, giving them the opportunity to develop their language skills through modern teaching approaches that encourage them to use Arabic confidently in their everyday lives, while reinforcing the Library's role as a leading platform for knowledge, learning and culture."

Meanwhile, Musab Beiruti, Arabic Language Teacher and General Manager of Nahki Arabi Centre, said: "We are delighted to have collaborated with Mohammed Bin Rashid Library on this initiative. The atmosphere throughout the programme was truly exceptional, and we witnessed a genuine commitment to introducing Arabic to children through engaging and contemporary teaching methods. We highly appreciate the Library's continued efforts to promote the Arabic language by delivering high-quality programmes that make meaningful use of the summer holiday through educational and interactive activities that successfully combine learning with enjoyment."

He added: "I would also like to commend the outstanding learning environment provided by Mohammed Bin Rashid Library. It is among the finest venues in which we have delivered our programmes, thanks to its excellent organisation, modern facilities and inspiring atmosphere that encourages children to learn and be creative. I would also like to extend my sincere appreciation to the Library's management and team for their warm welcome and exceptional support throughout the programme. Their cooperation played a significant role in its success, and we look forward to building on this partnership by delivering more initiatives that benefit children and further strengthen their connection with the Arabic language."

The programme featured a diverse range of creative and practical activities, including interactive workshops, language games, movement-based activities, storytelling sessions and conversational exercises. Built around a learning-through-play approach, each workshop incorporated engaging activities designed to connect children with the Arabic language in an enjoyable and meaningful way. Vocabulary was introduced and reviewed at the beginning of every session, while each workshop concluded with themed arts and crafts activities linked to the concepts explored. This approach helped reinforce vocabulary retention, enhance listening and speaking skills, enrich children's linguistic repertoire, and encourage them to use Arabic naturally and confidently in their everyday interactions.

The programme received an enthusiastic response from both children and parents, who praised the experience for successfully combining education with enjoyment while strengthening children's confidence in using Arabic and enhancing their communication and self-expression skills in an engaging and creative environment.

The initiative reflects Mohammed Bin Rashid Library's ongoing commitment to supporting the Arabic language and strengthening its presence among younger generations through innovative cultural and educational initiatives that provide inspiring environments for learning and discovery, while helping children develop their skills and deepen their appreciation of Arabic as a language of communication, expression and creativity.

As part of its summer programme, Mohammed Bin Rashid Library continues to offer a diverse calendar of educational and cultural activities and workshops for children and young people, designed to make the most of the summer break, nurture their knowledge and creativity, and reinforce the Library's position as a leading platform for knowledge and lifelong learning, contributing to the development of a culture of reading and lifelong learning.
