    A Poetry Salon

    Mikha’il Na’ima (1889-1988 Lebanon) was a poet, novelist, and philosopher. He is also called a spiritual writer because of his remarkable writings about death. He had a unique humanitarian approach. Na’ima is considered as one of the most influential figures in the modern Arabic literature. He wrote 99 books including drama, essays, poetry, criticism, short stories, and biographies. Among his best known books is the “Book of Mirdad“, a mystical text first published in Lebanon in 1948. Besides, he co-founded, along with Khalil Gibran and others, the New York literary society known as the Pen League.

    “In this poetry salon, we chose poems that tackle various topics such as earth, language, silence, imagination, life, ego, death, and justice. We will end by highlighting the importance of spiritual love in our life,” said Hamada Shousha, the event Director.

In Lebanon, he is still celebrated as a literary hero.

    SEKEMSophia Symposium - The Miracle in The Desert

    SEKEM Farm

    “I carry a vision deep within myself: in the midst of sand and desert, I see myself standing at a well drawing water. Carefully I plant trees, herbs and flowers and wet their roots with the precious drops. The cool well water attracts humans and animals to refresh and quicken themselves. Trees give shade, the land turns green, fragrant flowers bloom, insects, birds and butterflies show their devotion to Allah, the creator, as if they were reciting the first Sura of the Koran. The humans, perceiving the hidden praise of Allah, care for and see all that is created as a reflection of paradise on earth,” Ibrahim Abouleish (1937 – 2017).

    How did the vision of the SEKEM founder Dr. Ibrahim Abouleish become reality? How is this social innovation working and how does it affect people’s lives? How can an efficient economy, a healthy social life and a living culture develop together? How can partnership between east and west build peace and prosperity?
    To give you the opportunity to explore a sustainable community in the Egyptian desert, SEKEM offers a five-day hands-on experience, taking place at the SEKEM farm in Egypt. During this symposium, you will meet experts working in different fields in SEKEM to give you deep insights into the vision and how SEKEM’s holistic approach is implemented in its daily working and community life. The program combines both theory and practice and will give you the opportunity to get familiar with all the dimensions of SEKEM’s approach for sustainable development.

    Solutions for Scaling up Agroecology

    10:30 - 16:00Heliopolis University

    Transitioning to sustainable food and agriculture systems is critical to tackle malnutrition,
    social injustice, land degradation, water scarcity, climate change, loss of biodiversity, and
    agroecology plays a key role therein. In 2018, the World Future Council awarded, in
    partnership with the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) and IFOAM – Organics
    International, exemplary policies that scale up agroecology, and recognized, in collaboration
    with the Startup TAGS, effective practices that empower small-scale food producers. Also a
    number of award-winning experts promote scaling up agroecology. At this event we take a
    closer look at World Champions advancing the much needed transformation of our food
    systems and will discuss especially solutions from Africa.

    SEKEM Farm

    During the Social Initiative Forum (SIF), which will take place in December in SEKEM, we intend to share ideas, from all over the world, on how to shape a truly human education for the future. We welcome different people from different backgrounds to enter into a shared dialogue, to help shape an education that supports individual and holistic potential unfolding for a sustainable future. We recognize that this can only evolve through life-long learning with an integral approach, including formal school education, higher education, informal skills training initiatives, as well as entrepreneurial activities within economic, agricultural or cultural backgrounds. Let us inspire and encourage each other to think creatively and to risk starting brand new initiatives and impulses!
