Dialogue Platform
Informal Dialogue Series
The informal dialogue series is an initiative by the Lutfia Rabbani Foundation to bring together students and professionals of different backgrounds, the informal dialogue series aims to foster dialogue on Euro-Arab relations while engaging an audience from different disciples, backgrounds, and sectors.
While a dialogue platform is necessary to foster mutual understanding, it is equally important to have a cross-sectoral approach to dialogue that allows for the exchange of ideas and experiences across sectors and disciplines.
The informal dialogue session invites speakers from a variety of backgrounds either from the Foundation’s network or alumni as well as national and international decision makers, researchers, students, filmmakers, and entrepreneurs who are deeply involved in Euro-Arab exchange. The sessions also include a diverse audience group.
The sessions are held under the Chatham House Rule with the main goal being the openness of discussion and facilitating the sharing of information.
