unity and harmony amongst the peoples of the world.
Chair study matters of cultural pluralism; human rights; and the role of the arts, poetry and literature in promoting international communication and cooperation. These studies emphasize the enduring human values which Gibran advocated in his writing and which are essential to the creation of a world vision based on the principle of "unity in diversity". The creation of this Chair is due to the vision, high-mindedness and generosity of George and Lisa Zakhem. George Zakhem is a great philanthropist and supporter of the creative arts. His vision and his ideals have inspired us all in coming together to create this unique program.
