There’s so much to learn about Arab culture and since many of us are spread across the world, it’s pretty easy for one to lose their connection with their roots. This is where Afikra comes in, a discussion club organized in chapters across the globe so people can learn, explore, and preserve their culture.
The name of the club is an English translation of the Arabic word meaning Idea and it was conceptualized by Mikey Muhanna first in Brooklyn, New York, now there are chapters around Bahrain, Dubai, Amman, Beirut, and more.
While they haven’t been able to meet up or host any Afikra events this year due to COVID, they were still actively hosting panel talks on their social media, and recently, they’ve expanded to the world of podcasting!
You can now tune into Afikra’s podcasts for exciting and riveting tales of the Arab culture.
