The event was held at the artirum area of the Panorama Mall and has attracted quality crowd from the society.

“Be a lifelong student, read as many books as possible.” Nelson Mandela. That was the keyword opening speech of Knowledge Oman Vice President, Balqees Al Hassani who ignited the session with a powerful introductory speech.

Balqees briefly presented Knowledge Oman journey across the years and specifically spoke about the objective of the book review initiative which was launched specifically to promote book reading in the society.

The event which took place at Panorama Mall in the evening continues to meet with strong and great success.

Indeed and during an hour’s time a significant number of participants have discussed with Tushar Vakil, the Book Review Manager, the principal ideas of the New York Times best seller book entitled “The power of habit” by Charles-Duhigg.

By this initiative, Knowledge Oman, is not only promoting the love of reading but it is about reconciling a whole generation with reading. The KO Book Review initiative will continue to run every month inviting book lovers as guests from the society to share their learnings to the society.

Established in April 2008, Knowledge Oman continues to create programmes and events free for society to learn, engage and exchange knowledge in addition to hosting professionals from various backgrounds, gender, age groups and nationalities living in the Sultanate under one roof to support the development of a knowledge based society.
