Dubai Culture Introduces Summer School of Life, Offering Art, Wellness, and Language Workshops
The School of Life programme by Dubai Culture and Arts Authority has launched a new edition for July 2022, themed **"Hello Summer"**. This vibrant initiative is designed to offer a summer filled with enriching experiences through a variety of workshops and events aimed at engaging and inspiring participants across all age groups[1].
The programme consists of 23 workshops and events, each promising to enhance life and creative skills. These sessions cover a wide range of topics, from digital storytelling and emotional wellness to hands-on art, calligraphy, nutrition, and more[1].
Al Mankhool Library, for instance, is hosting a Japanese Kakigori dessert workshop, while Nada Saeed Kattan will lead a smoothie-making session under the Health & Nutrition Club at Hatta Public Library[1]. Medaf Creative Studio, on the other hand, is offering marine and plaster art projects.
Art-focused sessions at Al Safa Art & Design Library include Van Gogh-inspired painting and traditional Barjeel-themed pencil holder workshops[1]. Additionally, Al Mankhool Library offers a French for Beginners course.
The programme aligns with the emirate's Quality of Life Strategy, providing an excellent opportunity for individuals to engage in cultural and artistic activities during the summer period[1].
In line with the theme, Jehan Safar conducts confidence and wellness workshops for women and families, while Gino Banola introduces Baybayin calligraphy, blending Filipino heritage and beachwear design[1].
Moreover, the School of Life Photography Exhibition is taking place at multiple Dubai Public Libraries. This exhibition showcases photography as a powerful medium for storytelling and heritage preservation[1]. Dubai Culture has also launched the School of Life Photography Exhibition to celebrate emerging talent in photography.
The Art of Storytelling session is offered at the Reporters Training and Media Production Center, further emphasising the programme's commitment to fostering creative expression[1].
While specific details about the individual workshops, events, and their exact themes for July 2022 are not provided, the overarching goal of the programme is clear: to provide diverse cultural and artistic activities to enhance learning and creative expression during the summer period under this vibrant theme[1].
For those seeking precise information on the types of workshops or events, such as dates, speakers, or activity descriptions from that edition, additional direct sources from Dubai Culture or archived event schedules would be needed, as the current results primarily confirm the programme’s launch and theme only.
