Facilitating exchange, establishing a sustainable network, opening up new perspectives — these are the objectives of the regular meeting (“Jour Fixe“) for Arab and German students.

Our fourth meeting features the Berlin based project Discover Football, that seeks to foster social change through women‘s football, including several projects related to the Arab world. DISCOVER FOOTBALL regularly implements projects related to the MENA region such as their Expert seminar Women's Football and Empowerment in the MENA region in 2012 and the Women´s Football and Cultural Festival 2013 which hosted several teams from Arab countries. In 2015 DISCOVER FOOTBALL will host the first international female football festival in Lebanon in cooperation with  the Lebanese Girls Football Academy (GFA).

After the project‘s presentation and a short film, you will have the opportunity to discuss the issue with the speakers Marlene Assmann and Johanna Kösters.

The Jour Fixe is open for English-speaking students of all disciplines and universities who are interested in the exchange between Germany and the Arab world.
