Khatlab, director of the Latin American Studies and Cultures Center (CECAL) of the Holy Spirit University of Kaslik (USEK) in Lebanon, will cover the country’s history, people, culture, emigration, and tourism, concentrated on a small surface of 10,452 square kilometers. “A microcosm on the surface and a macrocosm on the people; resilient and that do not give up on existing,” said the researcher when publicizing the event.
“The lecture aims to show a Lebanon that, despite conflicts and crises, does not give up on existing, a resilient people, an oasis always with open arms to those who want to know in a small geographic space, many civilizations, eastern and western, and appreciate the ancient and the modern with a lot of hospitality and Lebanese joy,” he said.
