The story

Emirates LitFest Student Editions in Dubai

Emirates LitFest Student Editions runs a virtual author session programme each February into March, available to schools for a single nominal per-school fee, with students submitting questions to authors in advance, a choice between English and Arabic session groups, unlimited replay across a school's classes, and a separate in-person author school visits week each January.

A single virtual session can be replayed by a school as many times as needed across an entire month, shown in different classes, at assemblies, or set as an at-home viewing task for later class discussion, a flexibility built specifically to reach students who could never make it to the in-person Emirates Airline Festival of Literature.

What is special

The part that makes it specific.

01

The place changes

Charging a single nominal fee per school rather than per student removes the cost barrier that would otherwise scale directly with enrolment size, letting Student Editions reach far more students per dirham spent than a typical ticketed literary programme

02

The mystery stays covered

Building advance student question submission directly into the session format, and allowing unlimited replay across a school's classes and assemblies over a full month, also gives the programme a flexibility most single-screening virtual events do not offer
