DUBAI, 18th July, 2017 (WAM) -- The Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum Knowledge Foundation, MBRF, is joining hands with the Emirates Youth Council to hold a Youth Circle on Twitter tomorrow from 6:30am to 8:30pm.
Titled "How to Make Arabic the Language of Science and Knowledge?", the real-time discussion will take place via the hashtags: #Youth_Circle and #Bil_Arabi, allowing participants around the world to voice their opinions and share their thoughts. A video documenting the session will later be published on the Ministrys social networking accounts. Interactive discussions throughout the Youth Circle are set to tackle such various topics as the host of activities organised to support the Arabic language as part of the #Year_of_Giving. The debate will explore how present and future generations can benefit from using Arabic in science, given the languages flexibility and capacity to transfer knowledge to Arab societies everywhere, in addition to the role of both traditional and social media in promoting the use of Arabic as the main language of online dialogue in the Arab world. Shamma bint Suhail Faris Al Mazrui, Minister of State for Youth Affairs and Chair of the Emirates Youth Council, is set to participate in the Youth Circle, along with Jamal bin Huwaireb, CEO of MBRF; Aisha bin Bayat Al Falasi, Head of the Government Communication Unit at Dubai Educational Zone; Heba Al Samt, Director of Digital Media for TV and Radio at Dubai Media Incorporated (DMI); and Rafed Al-Harthi, Journalist at Abu Dhabi Media; along with a number of media professionals.
