As part of its community campaign to promote sustainable reading, the Abu Dhabi Arabic Language Centre (ALC) has launched the "We Read for Children" initiative, which is part of Kalima Reading Club. The initiative aims to promote the status of the Arabic language among children and youth, encouraging them to make reading a daily habit and providing them with an innovative reading experience inspired by the objectives of the "Year of Community."

The event takes place every Saturday at the Cultural Foundation in Abu Dhabi and will continue through mid-November.

Children will enjoy interactive reading sessions led by a selected group of specialists in children's literature, blending education with entertainment. The sessions will feature a curated selection of Arabic-language stories from ALC’s “Kalima Translation Project”, and "Esdarat" initiative, accompanied by vibrant accompanying activities. These include educational and illustrative tools designed to enrich participants' cultural knowledge and instill in them the values of learning and creativity.

Through this initiative, ALC aims to instill a love of reading in children, connecting them to the world of knowledge and developing their linguistic and expressive skills. This ultimately enhances their interaction with their environment and unlocks their imagination and creativity.

Through its initiatives, ALC continues its efforts to promote cultural identity and empower the Arabic language, striving to reach all segments of society. The Centre draws inspiration from the UAE's strategic vision to build a cohesive society attached to its mother tongue, confidently progressing towards achieving sustainable development at all levels
