>Arab Spring Day Symposium to mark the 1st 
>Anniversary of the Tunisian Revolution
>
>Friday 13th January 2012 10am – 5pm

>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.
>
>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.
