<b>Arab Spring Day Symposium to mark the 1st Anniversary of the Tunisian
Revolution<br>
</b> <br>
Friday 13th January 2012 10am – 5pm<br>
<br>
In this symposium taking place on the eve of the first anniversary of the
Tunisian Revolution, we will reflect on the specific case of Tunisia and
also on other features that seem to characterise the Arab Spring. The
Arab Revolution erupted first in Tunisia, a small country that has been
represented in the West as a peaceful tourist paradise. The
self-immolation of young street-vendor Mohamed Bouazizi provided the
spark for a revolutionary movement still spreading throughout the Arab
world and brought to light the anger, frustrations and hopes of the
young, the poor and the dispossessed.<br>
<br>
This event is open to all but delegates must register in advance. The
registration fee is £80, with concessions for
retired/unemployed/unaffiliated delegates (£50) and students (£25). The
registration fee includes tea/coffee and lunch. <br>
