afikra is all about asking questions and exploring something new.
We host free presenting workshops every two weeks to help folks prepare a new afikra presentation.
Everyone is welcome. Whether you have an idea in mind already or not, that shouldn’t stop you. Whether public speaking is your least or most favorite thing, come on by.
All you need is some curiosity and a love for learning & sharing new things.
Remember:
1. afikra presentations are always related to the histories or cultures of the Arab world.
2. We don’t expect you to be an expert, in fact, we hope that you are taking the opportunity to learn something new.
3. The presentation cannot promote an agenda, business, or opinion.
4. You will receive lots of support from the afikra team to make sure you feel successful throughout the whole process.
