01

Academic Writing Masterclass

For graduate students, researchers and faculty in the humanities and social sciences who write for an academic readership in English or Arabic. A five-hour workshop, offered online and in person, on argument, structure and sentence-level clarity; participants leave with a method for revising their own drafts toward publication or defense.

02

Narrative Theory & Storytelling for Professionals

For communication teams, editors, producers and professionals in cultural and public institutions who tell stories on behalf of an organization. A five-hour workshop, offered online and in person, that applies the core tools of narrative theory (point of view, structure, reliability, representation) to real examples; participants leave able to judge why a story works and what to check before releasing one.

03

Cross-Cultural Communication for Institutions

For ministries, NGOs, corporate teams and cultural organizations whose reports, campaigns and public messages reach Arab and Western audiences at once. A two-day workshop, offered online and in person, built around the institution's own bilingual materials; the team leaves with a shared vocabulary for cultural risk and a short review routine to run before anything goes out.

04

Writing for Publication in the Humanities and Social Sciences

For researchers preparing a journal article, book chapter or monograph proposal for peer review, in English or Arabic. A two-day workshop, offered online and in person, covering journal selection, the submission package, reviewer expectations and the response to reviews; participants leave with a publication plan for one piece of their own work.

05

Translation Ethics and Best Practices

For translators, editors, and the university or ministry units that commission and review translation between English and Arabic. A five-hour workshop, offered online and in person, on fidelity, interpretation, cultural representation and the translator's accountability to author and reader; participants leave with a set of working principles and a quality checklist their unit can adopt.
