S\u00e3o Paulo \u2013 \u2018Learning with Arabs\u2019 is the name and the intention of a series of workshops to be hosted in S\u00e3o Paulo later this month. The unit of the Social Service of Commerce (SESC<\/a>) on Avenida Paulista will hold encounters where refugees from Syria and Palestine will teach techniques from their culture. All classes are free.<\/p>\n

The Dabke<\/a>: Tradition and Resistance experience (pictured above<\/em>) is offered by Rawa Al Sagheer from Palestine. \u201cI talk about the history of the dance, how it was created 4,000 years ago. How it was shaped, then forbidden in Palestine in 1948 and how it became a form of resistance,\u201d she told ANBA about the dance that is also found in Syria, Lebanon and Jordan.<\/p>\n

Al Sagheer is a filmmaker and has lived in Brazil since 2015. She also performs storytelling on Arab refuge and immigration for children, besides giving classes about the Palestinian struggle since the occupation by the Ottoman Empire.<\/p>\n

Her workshop at SESC will run twice on December 22, at 3 pm and 5 pm, as well as on December 19 at 3 pm and 5 pm. Each activity offers 20 vacancies and the students must pick up their tickets 30 minutes in advance at the Central de Relacionamento<\/em> in SESC Avenida Paulista, 2nd<\/sup> floor.<\/p>\n
