FAHR Concludes its Reading Month Agenda 2025

The Federal Authority for Government Human Resources (FAHR) has successfully concluded its 2025 Reading Month agenda, held as part of the national initiative “UAE Reads 2025”. The month-long program offered a rich variety of cultural and knowledge-sharing events, benefiting hundreds of federal government employees, FAHR stakeholders, and staff members. These initiatives were carried out in partnership with both local and international collaborators.

My Book… Your Story

One of the most notable activities hosted by FAHR during the month was the “My Book… Your Story” knowledge session, held at Emirates Towers in collaboration with its knowledge partner, Government 01. The session was designed for employees from ministries and federal entities who share a passion for reading. Participants exchanged personal books on various topics and formats, which were read and discussed throughout the session.

Mind Strategies

The FAHR also organized a virtual session titled “Mind Strategies and Critical Thinking While Reading,” in collaboration with the Decision Center for Management Consulting, as part of the Federal Government’s “Ma’aref” initiative for Preferred Training Partners. The session, led by Dr. Amani Jamal Al-Din, was attended by around 800 federal government employees.

Artificial Intelligence and Human Resources

FAHR also held a virtual session for the Human Resources Club, in cooperation with Oracle, titled “Generative Artificial Intelligence and Human Resources Development.” Approximately 900 federal employees, interested parties, and human resources specialists, including club members and affiliates, attended the session.

The Arts of Writing

The Authority also conducted an internal workshop on journalistic writing and the proper use of the Arabic language in drafting correspondence. Led by the Authority’s media specialist, Mohammed Ibrahim Abu Bakr, the workshop was attended by several Authority leaders and employees from various sectors and departments.

The session covered a range of topics, including the importance of news and photojournalism, editing techniques, journalistic formats, news release structures, key elements of official correspondence, common linguistic errors, and methods for utilizing technological advancements and artificial intelligence tools in writing and editing, all while preserving the integrity of the Arabic language.

Knowledge Sparks

The Authority also launched an online knowledge competition during Reading Month, titled “Knowledge Flashes… From Here and There.” Each week, participants were presented with different questions to foster interaction and enhance cultural and intellectual awareness among employees. Prizes were awarded to the winners at the end of the month.

Through the UAE Reads Month initiative, the UAE aims to cultivate a culture of reading across all segments of society, regardless of age, gender, or interests, encouraging reading as a healthy daily habit and an ideal lifestyle.
