LAAF are delighted to welcome Hadi Badi co-founders, Hend Badawy and Raneem Soliman, back to the festival to lead an interactive storytelling session for children aged 4–8 years.
The session will introduce participants to high-quality Arabic children’s books that explore themes of nostalgia and memory, whether about home, family, places, or special moments.
Following the storytelling, children will enjoy a fun, creative activity linked to the story, designed to engage and inspire.The workshop will be conducted bilingually in Arabic and English.
Hadi Badi is an initiative launched in 2019 by three Egyptian women based in the UK,France, and Egypt. Its mission is to make Arabic children’s literature accessible to all by creating engaging reading experiences. Hadi Badi reaches children and young adults directly through interactive activities, and indirectly by supporting adults working with and for children of Arab heritage worldwide.
