"A Region Through Time: Legacy, Trouble and Hope"
The Saïd - Rhodes Forum on Syria, Jordan, Lebanon & Palestine (SJLP) celebrates the historic partnership between the Saïd Foundation and the Rhodes Trust.
The Forum will explore the Past, Present and Future of the region, aiming to provide a space to explore the pressing issues and encourage critical debate, while being forward looking and solution oriented. The conference will take us on a journey through the richness of the past, the complexity of the present day, and allow us to imagine a dynamic future of hope and prosperity. By addressing diverse topics pertinent to the region––under the broad themes of culture, economy, and governance––this conference demonstrates that the region is far from static, and its fate is not foreclosed.
