Talks on living in different cultures:

• The lives of women in Lebanon
• Arabic culture
• Comparing the different cultures of my life in Lebanon and in the UK
• The history of “Raks Charqui” (Belly Dancing)

I love to give talks about life in Lebanon and being a woman in an Arabic country – then and now. I am a regular speaker for the WI in Wiltshire and Somerset.  My talks are all interwoven with stories that I have heard or experienced personally and are presented in a fun and entertaining way but thought-provoking at the same time.

Also, at schools, I talk with staff and students about cultural awareness which can include

• General insights into Arabic culture.
• Roles of men and women in society.
• The influence of religion on the law and norms practiced in every day life.
• The Influence of family on personal life.
• The changes to society brought by war.
• Immigration, the causes and effects.
• The role of women in the family and society throughout the generations and at different stages of their life.
• Lebanon’s position geographically and the influence of the surrounding countries in general.
• For the younger students, I can adjust the information and present the appropriate message through the means of dancing and cooking
