The Department of Social Services in Sharjah is launching a series of stories for children, during the Sharjah International Book Fair in its 42nd session, which runs from November 1-12 at the Expo Center Sharjah, with the participation of hundreds of Arab and foreign publishers from around the world. Fatima Ismail, Director of Dar Al-Aman and Director of the Story Series Initiative, says, “These publications are part of the department’s initiatives under the title of ‘Introducing Innovative Means for Awareness and Insight,’ in addition to publications and brochures that will be distributed with the programs, so that each program will have a brochure about it.” The department considered it necessary to move towards writing interesting stories that contain within them the lessons, values, traditions and characteristics of the UAE and presenting them in a narrative form for children and young people, especially since this age group has become interested in electronic devices and has moved away to some extent from books. Fatima added that stories are one of the means of conveying awareness. We are currently working on transforming the educational and awareness programs that we used to display on Power Point screens into picture stories that attract children’s attention. We made sure that the content of the stories was appropriate for our awareness programs, which focus on three criteria: value programmes, protection and prevention programmes, and awareness programmes. What is new and striking about the subject is that the department will work in the next phase to convert these programs into cartoon films in addition to theatrical works and stories, and the reason for this is The trend is to keep pace with development and develop methods to deliver awareness and reduce social problems with proactive steps through theatre, stories and cartoon films. The task of writing the four stories was Sheikha Al-Jarwan, a social education specialist, in addition to her interest in writing stories for children. Her style is distinguished by its fluidity, clarity, directness, and transparency. The storyteller also avoided using difficult expressions because she was targeting the children’s segment of the first and second cycles (6-12 years). Al-Jarwan says that the events of the first story, “I Volunteer for the Love of My Country,” take place between 3 boys. Two of them are surprised by the behavior of their colleague who cleans the garden and picks up the waste on the ground while they are playing. He replies to them: Because I love my country and want it always clean. The storyteller indicates that this story is about volunteering. Which is considered one of the value standards in all societies, and which the Emirate of Sharjah pays great attention to, especially the launch of the Sharjah Center for Voluntary Work, and the programs that encourage the younger generation to engage in it. She goes on to talk about the second story, “I am proud of my national identity,” which focuses on strengthening national identity and introducing the different nationalities residing in the country, and introducing them to popular terms such as customs, traditions, etiquette, and behaviors, through the Emirati student hosting his friends from the Arab communities in his home and receiving them in Emirati dress, hospitality, and using the method. The traditional one is qualified and the smoker is used to smoke them with oud, incense, etc. As for the third story, entitled “It passed with a sweet ending,” it is about patience and the importance of young people being patient in order to achieve good results in the end, through a review of the story of an outstanding student who is tired of studying and schoolwork. She complains to her mother that she no longer wants to study, and her mother advises her to continue because she is... She will reap the fruits of her labor, and this is actually what happens at the end of the story, where she is honored by her school for her diligence.
