Contexte culturel
The term 'Wa'i' is a buzzword in Arab podcasts and intellectual circles. It represents a shift from traditionalism to a more critical, informed way of living. In countries like Saudi Arabia and the UAE, 'raising awareness' is a key part of 'Vision 2030' and similar national plans, especially regarding technology and health. In Egypt, 'Taw'iya' campaigns are famous for using catchy songs or famous actors to reach the 'Ammah' (general public). NGOs in the Levant frequently use this phrase in the context of human rights and refugee support.
Use the Preposition 'Bi-'

Don't skip 'Mustawa'
While 'Rafa'a al-wa'i' is understood, adding 'Mustawa' (level) makes you sound like a C1 speaker.
