It enables participants to explore Dubai's unique cultural scene, fostering a sustainable creative environment that enriches talents, sharpens skills, and encourages engagement in the cultural and artistic sectors. In October, the School of Life will present a rich programme of creativity and knowledge through its many clubs, which include the Calligraphy Club, Family Developing Club, Wellness & Nutrition Club, Language Club, and Career Club, along with others dedicated to cinema, photography, art, books, and chess. Across these, 31 workshops and interactive sessions will showcase the wonders of Arabic calligraphy and the Emirati dialect, the secrets of colours, and the connection between art and storytelling. Additionally, the workshops will provide training on basic etiquette, photography techniques, sustainable design methods, and much more.
