HoW Unlocks New Cultures With Wisdom Speaks

As part of its ongoing mission to empower communities through knowledge and cultural exchange, the House of Wisdom (HoW) in Sharjah has launched three language courses—Spanish, French, and Japanese. Under the Wisdom Speaks programme, these offerings aim to expand perspectives, especially among children and youth, by immersing learners in each culture's languages and rich traditions.

The courses feature a mix of interactive workshops, cultural experiences, and practical activities, providing participants with an in-depth understanding of the vibrant histories and diverse customs these languages embody.

A gateway to strengthening dialogue and building connections 

Commenting on the launch, Marwa Al Aqroubi, Executive Director of HoW, said: “Wisdom Speaks exemplifies our commitment to cultivating a community that thrives on continuous learning and skill enhancement. HoW is far more than a library; it is a forward-thinking hub for innovation and intellectual engagement where we foster meaningful connections. Through initiatives like these, we create invaluable opportunities for personal and cultural development while actively supporting Sharjah’s vision of promoting cross-cultural dialogue and global exchange.”
