STUDENTS FROM ZAYED UNIVERSITY OF THE UNITED ARAB EMIRATES VISIT THE NKUA

On 4 April 2018, an interdepartmental delegation of students from Zayed University of the United Arab Emirates visited the School of Philosophy and attended a daily seminar that was presented by Professor Pavlos Kavouras on the operation and activities of the Ethnomusicology and Cultural Anthropology Laboratory of the Department of Music Studies. Due to the success of the meetings, Zayed University is scheduling a new official visit of students and academic staff in June 2018. This activity reflects the Laboratory’s policy of developing international academic and research cooperation with universities of the Arab world of equal status to the National and Kapodistrian University of Athens. This policy aims at enhancing the role the Laboratory can play in the prospective of establishing and maintaining an active cultural dialogue with the Arab world. This dialogue is expected to function as a bridge for communication and information exchange about the history and philosophy of Greek and Arab civilizations.
