Subject: Launch of Scottish Arabic Foundation

Dear Colleagues,
 
Hope you’ve made the most of your summer holiday and ready for the new academic year.
 
I was wondering if you have any information, resources, links etc… on the 250thanniversary and heritage of teaching Arabic in Scotland that took place in 2000.
 
I would need this information urgently to help organising an exhibion for the launch of a new organisation called the Scottish Arabic Federation (SAFE) at the Scottish Parliament on 29th Sep to which you are all invited (see invitation below). There will be many high profile attendees as the event is sponsored by Marilyn Livingstone MSP (Member of Scottish Parliament).
 
Any help to organise the aforementioned would be really appreciated
 
Many thanks
