09:00 – Music, Solace, Protest and Hope: A Psychological-Social Perspective
Lecturer: Itai Gruper, doctoral student, cultural researcher and lecturer at Ono Academic College
We will embark on a musical journey revealing the moving story of the African American community’s struggle for equality, and discuss music’s fascinating role as a tool for solace, protest, identity formation and resistance to dehumanization.
10:45 – Where Is Europe Heading? The Immigration Crisis and Political Chaos: A Current Perspective
Lecturer: Shahar Sheklash, journalist and historian
Europe is changing its face. The continent that was once home to distinct nations has, in recent decades, become embroiled in an immigration crisis, an identity crisis and a political crisis—threatening the tranquility of everyday life and the solidarity among its citizens. Where will these crises lead, and how will they affect Israel?
