ABC about the Middle East:
General Facts and Common Mistakes
Introduction
While there are now more than 500 Arabic and Farsi news outlets reporting stories from and about the Middle East, there are currently no affordable means for English speakers to gain access to much of this content. As a result, the overwhelming majority of English-speaking businesspersons, students, journalists and others with an interest in the affairs of the region are largely unaware of the realities of the Middle East, or how its media is covering the region’s most important stories.
ACT Center has developed a training and educational program, called ABC About the Middle East, to teach basic facts about the Middle East, as well as provide the best tools to approach any regional topic of interest. It teaches large, or small groups, of any local, regional or international institutions, corporations, and NGOs.

- A one-week exclusive educational seminar about the Middle East: History, Geography, Culture and Society, Politics and Economy.
