Out now across podcast platforms!

POINT COUNTERPOINT - a new miniseries for The Beirut Banyan.

An exchange on political affairs impacting Lebanon and the Middle East, from a unique vantage point in Beirut.

Co-hosted by Bashshar Haydar (professor of philosophy at AUB) & Michael Young @BeirutCalling (senior editor at Carnegie’s Middle East Center and editor of Diwan) - both Beirut-based analysts sharing their nuanced perspectives while honing in on disagreements.

Episode 1 covers two issues: (1) Western double standards vis-a-vis foreign policy & humanitarian intervention, & (2) the question of criticism during the ongoing Israel-Hamas war in Gaza.

Stay tuned for more episodes later this summer.

La bibliothèque Monnot a le plaisir d'accueillir Michèle M. Gharios, dans le cadre de la série de rencontres littéraires dont l'objet n'est pas la parution d'un nouvel ouvrage mais la "cuisine" en amont de chaque roman: déclencheur, recettes, habitudes de travail...

Un grand pas en avant pour le Liban

[Rula El Halabi @Rulaelhalabi]

#Spain
Mar Galceran makes history as Spain’s first parliamentarian person with Down's syndrome.
“Society is starting to see that people with Down's syndrome have a lot to contribute.”
Mar Galceran, aged 45, has had a career in politics since she was 18 years old when she joined the Conservative People’s Party (PP) after being attracted to what she described as its “embrace of tradition.”
For decades she battled to ensure that people with intellectual disabilities were part of the conversation.

@Rulaelhalabi @SergeZarka Where else can they park? There's no place on the streets.
Truth is, these structures designed to prevent cafés from abusing sidewalk space!

What does it take to be a good leader? To mention a few👇

✅Inclusive
✅Promotes equality
✅Ethical
✅Respect
✅Empathy
✅Good communication

That's right, gender has nothing to do with being a good leader.
