Dubai Culture presents interesting workshops for individuals of all ages and backgrounds through its project School of Life, revitalizing the spaces of Al Safa Art and Design Library, Al Twar, Al Mankhool, and Hatta Public Library. The project encompasses diverse activities and sessions to build cultural, creative, and life skills for all the public. It aims to empower them to explore Dubai's creative scene, contributing to the creation of a sustainable creative environment that enriches the knowledge of talented individuals, hones their skills, and encourages community participation in the cultural and artistic sectors.

In February 2024, School of Life will launch under the theme ‘Innovation & Space’ offering inspiring educational sessions and interactive workshops through the ‘Book’, ‘Languages’, Visual Art Stream’, ‘Painting’, and ‘Chess’ clubs in both Arabic and English. These will provide patrons of Dubai Public Libraries with the opportunity to understand the importance of space and engage in innovation through the ‘Innovation Hackathon’. Additionally, participants will explore the works of the Japanese artist Yayoi Kusama, discuss valuable books, and more. The workshops will be conducted by a select group of experts and specialists in various cultural, artistic, and creative fields.
