Dubai Culture is set to launch a fresh season of its School of Life initiative this September, offering a diverse programme of workshops and educational activities under the Dubai Quality of Life Strategy.
Throughout the month, visitors to Dubai Public Libraries can take part in 34 interactive sessions that merge creativity with learning, designed to build practical skills and expand personal growth. The initiative’s clubs will cover topics such as artistic expression, mental wellbeing, storytelling, identity building, languages, and more, giving participants the chance to sharpen abilities and share ideas in an engaging environment that encourages innovation and confidence both personally and professionally.
Next month, School of Life will also host the 2025 Annual Schools Meeting at Al Safa Art & Design Library, bringing together leading schools and educational partners to explore synergies between culture and learning. The programme will include talks, keynote addresses, and hands-on workshops, while also recognising standout initiatives, such as the Chevron Readers’ Cup and the Librarian Award.
