SUMMARY:Saudi Female Tech Pioneer Speech: Impact and Change - Paths to Social Innovation in Saudi Arabia
DESCRIPTION:Hosted by the Georgia Council for International Visitors (GCIV) and organized by the King Abdulaziz Center for World Culture\, Saudi social entrepreneur Lujain Al Ubaid will explore the current state of social entrepreneurship in Saudi Arabia through her experiences as an innovator in the field at three public and two invite-only events in Atlanta\, Georgia. \nSocial entrepreneurship is not always the first business venture associated with Saudi Arabian society; in an environment heavily fixated on either for-profit business ventures or entirely non-profit social work\, the general Saudi public is not informed of the possibility of social enterprise as a professional avenue. Despite an absence of technical expertise and recognition\, many leaders for social change have been developing models for people to participate in social programming and projects for sustainable chance. \nLujain Al Ubaid\, founder of Tasamy for Social Entrepreneurship\, is one of these leaders. \n“I [was] angry and frustrated by the undelivered promises to youth allowing them to create positive change and impact\,” Al Ubaid explains. She therefore became one of the first leaders to develop the infrastructure for social entrepreneurship in Saudi Arabia\, and moreover\, to create some of the terminology associated with the field in Arabic. \nHer organization\, Tasamy for Social Entrepreneurship\, focuses on finding sustainable solutions to social problems by encouraging and empowering youth\, community leaders\, as well as private and governmental institutions to achieve social entrepreneurship in the Gulf region. Drawing on her experiences in Saudi Arabia\, India\, and elsewhere\, Lujain Al Ubaid will highlight her journey to creating Tasamy in her talk.  She will look at ways in which youth in Saudi Arabia can be helped along the path to creative entrepreneurship and volunteerism through online incubation and incentivizing – and her prominent role in doing so as the founder of one of the few social entrepreneurship organizations. \nShe will present on: \n● 8 December\, 11:00am-12:00pm\, Agnes Scott College\, free. \n● 8 December\, 7:00pm-8:30pm\, Arnall Golden Gregory LLP\, Suite 2100\, free to GCIV members \nAl Ubaid will also speak at three invite-only events at the Mayor’s Office and two Fortune 200 companies. \nFor more information\, contact Farah Amir at farah@gciv.org or by phone at 404.832.5560\, ext. 21.

SUMMARY:Lecture with Roy Craft: Inter-Cultural Intelligence Expert
DESCRIPTION:The future is already here! Are you ready? Fundamental shifts have occurred over the past 50 years unlike any before in human history. Technological and cultural changes have altered almost every aspect of what we do\, where we do it and how we do it. So\, why are we all having so much difficulty working and living in the 21st century? \nIf you are an expatriate or working in a diverse or even international work place\, or find your children struggling to adapt in classrooms that look like they did in your day\, but resemble a mini-United Nations with more technology in each students hands than what was used to launch the first space travel to the moon\, you owe it to yourself to investigate this topic. \nPerhaps you sense a disconnect between the traditions and social values you grew up with and those your children are learning\, from just about\, well\, everywhere. Or\, are you just trying to make sense of the world today and your place in it. Maybe\, you are just yearning for the way things used to be in the ‘good old days.’ \nCome and hear a refreshing new take on the state of life today and learn about exciting new skills to help you hold onto the best of your past and present and build a bridge to more positive future in work and in life. One of the major topics to be explored will be the exciting new field of Inter-Cultural Intelligence. \n Brief Outline \n\nSummary of the global cultural and technological shifts that have occurred in the last 50 years that are unique in human history.\nHow these shifts have impacted individuals\, organizations and societies: future shock and culture shock.\nEmergence of the new discipline of inter-cultural intelligence: what is it\, where it came from and why it is important today.\nOverview of Inter-Cultural Intelligence training: application of both experiential and evidenced based resources.

SUMMARY:A Note on Opera: Engelbert Humperdinck’s “Hänsel und Gretel“
DESCRIPTION:Join the Goethe-Zentrum for our latest lecture in their “A Note on Opera” series as they look at Engelbert Humperdinck’s “Hänsel und Gretel.“ \nWhat Tchaikovsky’s “Nutcracker“ is to ballet\, Humperdinck’s “Hänsel und Gretel” is to opera. Since its Weimar premiere on December 23\, 1893\, this opera has always been linked to the Christmas season. Musically it owes a great debt to Wagner\, but without the “heaviness” that often characterizes Wagner’s scores. Humperdinck’s sumptuous creation seems to be suffused rather with light and air. “Hänsel und Gretel” is a “Märchenoper” [fairy tale opera] and returns\, even if only briefly\, German opera to its early days of “The Magic Flute\,” “Der Freischütz\,” and “The Flying Dutchman.” And like Gershwin did with “Porgy and Bess” in the 1930s\, Humperdinck composed in “Hänsel” music that fools us into believing its folk music\, though it actually is not. \nCourse to be taught in English by David Kerr. No pre-existing knowledge of music required. \nPlease use the link below to register in advance for this course session and receive a discounted rate.
