In January 2018, SAFIR Ambassador Mrs. Lina Attar hosted a single English language class in Beirut. The intimate gathering included four participants: Johnny Seaman, Mohamad Khayata, Akil Ahmad, and Anas Breihi.
Mrs. Attar recognized that language proficiency is a gateway to opportunities. By offering English courses, she equipped SAFIR artists with a powerful tool. She followed up with participants weekly, ensuring their progress and addressing any challenges.
Mrs. Attar’s initiative emphasized that language proficiency is an essential tool for artists. By imparting English skills, she empowered these talented individuals to navigate the art world with confidence. Whether seeking exhibitions, grants, or residencies, their newfound language abilities would serve as a catalyst for growth.
Learning English isn’t just about words—it’s about unlocking a world of possibilities. Mrs. Lina Attar’s project exemplifies SAFIR’s dedication to nurturing creativity and connecting artists across borders.
