Since February, the ICArabe (Institute of Arab Culture) has been offering a series of free courses on the contributions of Arab-Islamic civilization to humanity. There are 21 courses in total, taught by experts in subjects such as math, physics, philosophy, food, migration, and music. Meetings are usually held on Thursdays at 7 p.m. via Zoom and are followed by debates with the public.
The list of courses is below. In the case of courses that had already been given before the publication of this text, the link leads to a video on YouTube. For meetings to be held, such as the conversation on the Arabic lexicon in Portuguese on April 15, it is necessary to register. If in doubt, also search for the channel on YouTube.
