    paper Little Arabic Frame

    Bilingual educational posters - https://www.twine.net/signin
    Little Arabic Frame was established when I had my daughter and she started expressing herself in English. As an Arab living abroad, I have decided that Arabic should be as important as English in her education even at a very young age. Once she started to recognise the letters of her name in English I wanted her to learn them in Arabic. Once she started to talk about her emotions in English it was essential for me to show her how to communicate what she is feeling in Arabic as well. Then came to my mind the idea of creating educational illustrations for kids, and as Graphic Designer myself I wanted to create something unique, colourful, playful and educational at the same time.

    I have decided to create an Etsy shop, where I have created a variety of bilingual posters in Arabic and in English that I have designed and can be downloaded digitally then printed at home in various sizes. Some styles can be customised.

    Let the learning experience of your bilingual child become more fun. Happy learning!

    paper Children's AI Summit

    https://www.twine.net/signin

    The Children’s AI Summit brought together around 150 children from across the UK to share their messages for global leaders, policymakers, and AI developers on what the future of AI should look like.
    Putting children’s voices and experiences centre stage, the Summit explored how AI impacts children today, and how children want to shape its future. It was a child-centred event with entertainment and activities for different age groups between panel sessions and performances, including performances from National Youth Theatre, a session by the NSPCC’s Voice of Online Youth, and interactive stands by Children’s Parliament, the LEGO Group, PSHE Association and others. All sessions were chaired by a young person (8-18 years old) and speakers and performers were all children.
    The Children’s AI Summit was hosted by the Children and AI team in The Alan Turing Institute’s Public Policy Programme and Queen Mary University of London and supported by the LEGO Group, Elevate Great and EY.
