A musical exploration of Mohammad-Reza Shajarian’s iconic recitation of Rabbana, a piece deeply tied to the spiritual essence of Ramadan. Shajarian, a legendary Iranian singer and master of Persian classical music, was widely revered for his powerful voice and artistic influence. For decades, Rabbana was a cherished part of Ramadan traditions in Iran, broadcast at sunset to mark the time of breaking the fast. We’ll delve into its musical beauty, spiritual depth, and cultural significance, uncovering why this masterpiece remains a beloved part of Persian heritage. Through discussion and reflection, we’ll celebrate the voice and legacy of one of Iran’s most revered artists. We will start the event with Shajarian's masterpieces in Persian and end with Rabbana, which is a special prayer from the Koran and it is in Arabic.

The term 'Middle East' is more than just a geographical reference—it’s a product of colonialism, power, and perception. Coined in the late 19th century by Western powers, this label was shaped by geopolitical interests, Eurocentric views, and a desire to simplify the complex and diverse cultures of the region. In this event, we will delve into the origins of the term, examining how it was used to define the region's strategic importance between Europe and Asia. We’ll explore its role in Western imperialism, the cultural assumptions embedded in the label, and how the term continues to shape global understanding of the region today. Join us for an engaging discussion on how this label has both influenced and been challenged by the people and nations it defines. This event will also make references to the notion of Edward Said's 'Orientalism' and how the western political and power-based lens distorts this part of the world.

Where did the terms "First World", "Second World" and "Third World" come from, and why do they continue to shape our view of different nations?

‼️This is a NOT a lecture on religion.

The Muslim call to prayer aka Adhan is recited from the mosque five times a day on most days and traditionally from a mosque's minaret. While it has a religious purpose, it also has a very profound impact to the ear, whether a person is a Muslim or not. Like many sounds, and forms of arts in all religions, the Islamic call to prayer is extremely powerful and almighty. How does it sound to the ear of someone who has never heard it and what does it envoke in those who grew up with it? How did the call to prayer come to life and what is the story behind it? Join to find out. How does a religious sound impact our mind and brain? Can we appreciate religious sounds, music and art purely for aesthetics and melody, or must we be practicing that religion?

A castle is a type of fortified structure built during the Middle Ages predominantly by the nobility or royalty and by military orders. Scholars usually consider a castle to be the private fortified residence of a lord or noble. This is distinct from a mansion, palace, and villa, whose main purpose was exclusively for pleasance and are not primarily fortresses but may be fortified.
Use of the term has varied over time and, sometimes, has also been applied to structures such as hill forts and 19th- and 20th-century homes built to resemble castles. Over the Middle Ages, when genuine castles were built, they took on a great many forms with many different features, although some, such as curtain walls, arrowslits, and portcullises, were commonplace.
In this Interactive Serie, my dear friend & Consul Gunsu will share with us a very pleasant, highly visualized & informative video ( s ) about `` Most Amazing Castles in The World `` and then we will talk about our preferences and/or additional examples onto the list with your valuable participation.

Street food is food sold by a hawker or vendor on a street or at another public place, such as a market, fair, or park. It is often sold from a portable food booth, food cart, or food truck and is meant for immediate consumption. Some street foods are regional, but many have spread beyond their regions of origin. Most street foods are classified as both finger food and fast food and are typically cheaper than restaurant meals. The types of street food vary between regions and cultures in different countries around the world.

A festival constitutes typical cases of globalization, as well as the high culture-low culture interrelationship. Next to religion and folklore, a significant origin is agricultural. Food is such a vital resource that many festivals are associated with harvest time. Religious commemoration and thanksgiving for good harvests are blended in events that take place in autumn, such as Halloween in the northern hemisphere and Easter in the southern.

Festivals often serve to fulfil specific communal purposes, especially in regard to commemoration or thanking to the gods, goddesses or saints: they are called patronal festivals. They may also provide entertainment, which was particularly important to local communities before the advent of mass-produced entertainment. Festivals that focus on cultural or ethnic topics also seek to inform community members of their traditions; the involvement of elders sharing stories and experience provides a means for unity among families. Attendants of festivals are often motivated by a desire for escapism, socialization and camaraderie; the practice has been seen as a means of creating geographical connection, belonging and adaptability.

In this Interactive Serie, my dear friend & Consul Gunsu will share with us a very pleasant, highly visualized & informative video ( s ) about `` Most Amazing Festivals in The World `` and then we will talk about our preferences and/or additional examples onto the list with your valuable participation.

A skilled worker is any worker who has special skill, training, or knowledge which they can then apply to their work. A skilled worker may have learned their skills through work experience, on-the-job training, an apprenticeship program or formal education. These skills often lead to better outcomes economically. The definition of a skilled worker has seen change throughout the 20th century, largely due to the industrial impact of the Great Depression and World War II.

Further changes in globalisation have seen this definition shift further in Western countries, with many jobs moving from manufacturing based sectors to more advanced technical and service based roles. Examples of formally educated skilled labor include engineers, scientists, doctors and teachers, while examples of less formally educated workers include crane operators, CDL truck drivers, machinists, drafters, plumbers, craftsmen, cooks and bookkeepers.

Language is a structured system of communication that consists of grammar and vocabulary. It is the primary means by which humans convey meaning, both in spoken and signed forms, and may also be conveyed through writing. Human language is characterized by its cultural and historical diversity, with significant variations observed between cultures and across time. Human languages possess the properties of productivity and displacement, which enable the creation of an infinite number of sentences, and the ability to refer to objects, events, and ideas that are not immediately present in the discourse. The use of human language relies on social convention and is acquired through learning.

Estimates of the number of human languages in the world vary between 5,000 and 7,000. Precise estimates depend on an arbitrary distinction (dichotomy) established between languages and dialects. In other words, human language is modality-independent, but written or signed language is the way to inscribe or encode the natural human speech or gestures.
