Muscat: The Ministry of Information launched the third workshop of the 'Summer of Talents' programme marking the beginning of the activities for this year, with a packed schedule that included presentations by the Editorial Director of Nizwa Magazine.
The programme is being organised by the Cultural Library of the General-Directorate of Publications and Artistic Works of the Ministry of Information, in collaboration with the Observer newspaper.
It involves the participation of eight children aged 13 to 16 years old and will run for three days. The workshop features a variety of activities such as writing short stories, drawing and visits to digital television studios.
On the first day, activities were led by Nizwa Magazine's Editorial Director, Huda al Jahwari. The children engaged in activities focused on writing short stories, memory exercises and midbrain activation. They also took a practical test on recognising colours and shapes, as well as learning the basics of story writing.
Iman al Alawi conducted a workshop on pencil drawing, teaching the children about colour frequencies and drawing techniques. The story-writing activities will continue on the next day, where the children will delve into composing story details and discussing them. They will also learn how to draw cartoon characters.
The third and final day will include a visit to television studios, where the children will have the opportunity to participate in various workshops.
