Re-launch of the Alternative Academy - Spring 2020 courses are now available.

Lebanon Support is glad to announce the relaunch of The Alternative Academy (AA), its joint initiative with JIBAL and part of its Civil Society Incubator.

The Spring 2020 courses are now open for registration. The Alternative Academy is offering a wide range
of courses, from social and political sciences (anthropology, sociology...) to natural sciences (physics, climatology, entomology…) as well as architecture and arts. They are led by university-level instructors or experienced individuals that are experts in their fields. Courses are accessible for all age groups and backgrounds, are highly engaging and interactive, in an attempt to promote alternative teaching methods and pedagogies, one of the long-term objectives of the AA.

You can find the full list of courses offered in Spring 2020 here, and register using this online form.

The AA is a multi-disciplinary space for critical thinking, discussions, and learning. It was born out of a shared quest for intellectually stimulating, affordable and open courses in the country. It provides alternative viewpoints and perspectives on various subjects while encouraging people to revisit and rethink mainstream concepts and ideologies. Ultimately, the AA aims at contributing to building a more open, just and inclusive society.
