About afikra Community Presentations
Delivered and prepared by afikra community members, the presentation's goal is to showcase the presenter’s curiosity and research, and share some knowledge on a topic related to the Arab world’s histories and cultures. The presentation is the culmination of the afikra coaching process to help identify a topic, research it, and develop the presentation.
afikra presentations come in three forms: a long question-driven afikra Feature explaining why or how something happened or is happening, a medium-sized afikra Spotlight exploring who someone or what something is, and a short afikra FWD which purpose is to share something interesting.
