Arab World from History to Fiction

20 de mayo de 2017 6:45

Listening to stories widens the imagination and helps us to leap over gaps and embrace difference. On a journey from the region’s past to the novels of today, explore questions of identity, diversity and a shared future.

Start the day with a conversation and reflection on what concepts are needed today to achieve a more inclusive future in the region.

Simultaneous interpretation in Arabic and English

This session will be livestreamed on TopLink and the Forum website.
