About this event
Join us for a conversation with Alexandra Senfft, who draws on personal storytelling and biographical reflection to explore the human dimensions of the Middle East conflict.
Rather than a traditional lecture, this event invites participants into a guided exchange of perspectives. Alexandra's approach centres on the lived experiences and personal histories that both fuel the conflict and have the potential to defuse it.
This is not an academic or political analysis of the region. It is an opportunity to listen, reflect and engage through story. The session will include time for open dialogue with attendees.
