  "account": "Doha, Qatar - Siraj, an Arabic language learning initiative under Qatar Foundation's Pre-University Education, showcased its innovative approach at the BilAraby Annual Gathering 2026. The second edition of the event, themed \"With Our Ideas, We Build,\" focused on harnessing educational entertainment content to bolster Arabic language skills for children.\n\nThe BilAraby forum, organized by Qatar Foundation's BilAraby initiative, gathered Arabic language enthusiasts, experts in education, culture, and knowledge at Education City's Student Center. Siraj's workshop highlighted its strategy and vision for Arabic language learning, presenting its content and its evolution over nine seasons.\n\nSiraj's participation in this year's gathering is particularly significant as it marks the program's 10th anniversary. Over the past decade, the initiative has developed content that seamlessly blends education with entertainment, making Arabic more engaging and accessible to young learners. This approach aims to strengthen children's connection to the language while enhancing their language skills in listening, speaking, and reading.\n\nButhina Al-Derham, Director of Communication and Outreach at QF's Pre-University Education, emphasized Siraj's role in bringing the Arabic language closer to children. She noted that Siraj's content is not only designed for children but also serves as a valuable educational resource for teachers and parents, both inside and outside the classroom. This dual utility helps foster a stronger presence of Arabic in children's daily lives.\n\nAl-Derham expressed that the participation in the BilAraby Annual Gathering 2026 offers a platform for Siraj to share its experiences, content, and tools with a broader audience. Simultaneously, it provides an opportunity to learn from the insights and needs of other attendees, enabling continuous program development and strengthening its role as a vital educational resource for new generations learning Arabic.",
