Books — Made in UAE

How can children be encouraged to discover the joy of books, develop their creativity and their thirst for reading? The Goethe-Institut invited school librarians to explore these questions in interactive workshops.

Emirati authors and illustrators managed to make seven books, that are innovative, creative and imaginative.

In an exhibition the UAE Board on Books and the Goethe-Institute Gulf Region presented the seven Emirati children’s books created as part of their joint project „Books – Made in UAE“.

The workshop aimed to encourage Emirati authors to write teen novels that appeal to Emirati teenagers and promote reading more effectively.
