حكاية كافيه | Hikaya Café الجلسة الأولى: من هو مثلك الأعلى؟ 📅 التاريخ: السبت 4 يوليو 2026 🕕 الوقت: الساعة السادسة مساءً 📍 المكان: مكتبة محمد بن راشد – دبي في زمنٍ امتلأت فيه شاشاتنا بالأبطال الخارقين وشخصيات الخيال، نتوقف قليلًا لنسأل: من هو البطل الحقيقي الذي يسكن ذاكرتك؟ في جلستنا الأولى، نفتح الباب للحديث عن شخصيات من التاريخ والأدب والواقع؛ شخصيات آمنّا بأثرها، أو ألهمتنا قصصها، أو نرى أن العالم يستحق أن يعرفها أكثر. وسنستمع أيضًا إلى اختياراتكم أنتم... إلى الشخصية التي تحملونها معكم في ذاكرتكم، أو في طريقة تفكيركم، أو ربما في أسلوب حياتكم. ولا يشترط أن تكون الشخصية تاريخية أو مشهورة؛ يكفي أنها تركت أثرًا فيك. كما ستكون هذه الجلسة فرصة للتعارف، والاستماع إلى آرائكم حول الشكل الذي تتمنون أن يكون عليه هذا النادي الثقافي: • هل نناقش موضوعًا مختلفًا في كل لقاء؟ • أم نخصص الجلسات لمناقشة كتاب؟ • أم لديكم أفكار واقتراحات أخرى؟ نريد أن نبني هذا المكان معًا، ليكون مساحة للحوار، والقراءة، وتبادل الأفكار، وصناعة صداقات ثقافية جميلة. ادعوا أصدقاءكم... فكل من يحب الحكايات، ويؤمن بأن وراء كل اسمٍ عظيم قصةً تستحق أن تُروى، هو موضع ترحيب. ومن هنا تبدأ الحكاية... ونكملها معًا، بالطريقة التي نرسمها جميعًا. "لكل حكايةٍ مستمع، ولكل فكرةٍ مساحة." أهلًا وسهلًا بالجميع. Hikaya Café First Gathering: Who Is Your Role Model? Date: Saturday, July 4, 2026 Time: 6:00 PM Venue: Mohammed Bin Rashid Library, Dubai In a world filled with superheroes and fictional icons, let's pause for a moment and ask: Who is the real hero who has inspired you? Our first gathering invites you to share stories about remarkable people from history, literature, or everyday life—individuals whose lives have inspired you, challenged your thinking, or simply deserve to be better known. We would also love to hear about your role model. Your choice doesn't have to be famous or historical. It could be anyone who has left a meaningful impact on your life. This first meeting is also an opportunity for us to get to know one another and shape the future of Hikaya Café together. Would you like our gatherings to focus on: • a different discussion topic each time? • a book discussion? • or another format altogether? Your ideas matter, and we would love to build this community together. Invite your friends—everyone who enjoys meaningful conversations and believes that behind every inspiring name lies a story worth telling. This is where our story begins, and together we'll decide where it goes next. “Every story deserves a listener, and every idea deserves a place.” Everyone is warmly welcome.
