As a well recognised investor in the luxury industry for over two decades, Caroline will help us understand to what extent the sector has evolved in recent years and if the large players can - and are willing to - participate in a more responsible and sustainable society. Can luxury brands have a positive social impact and how can the investment community help?14th SEPTEMBER 18:30-21:00 Resistance to Occupation: Civil Disobedience or Violent Opposition? Soha Bechara was born in Deir Mimas, Lebanon and raised in an Eastern Orthodox Family. Her father, Fawaz Bechara, was a member of the Lebanese Communist party and Souha’s major source of inspiration. In March 1978, when Bechara was only 11 years old, Israel invaded Lebanon. Israel invaded the country once again in 1982, the year when the Sabra and Shatila massacre claimed the lives of anywhere between 460 to 3,500 men, women, and children. That same year, Bechara secretly joined the Lebanese Communist Party, becoming active within its bodies, resistance front Jammoul, as well as the Union of Lebanese Demoratic Youth. In 1988, Bechara undertook a mission in the Occupied Southern Lebanon, as a result of which she was taken to the Khiam prison – known internationally as a symbol of human rights violation. She suffered electric shock therapy, and six years of solitary confinement in the prison’s notorious miniature cells –so small that you could only sit in them, but not stand or lie down. Bechara was held in the prison for ten years, up until her release on September 3, 1998, following an intense Lebanese-European campaign for her release. We have the rare opportunity to meet Soha, discuss with her the major theme of resistance and discover her book "La Fenetre".7th JUNE 18:30-21:00 Luxury Brands and Social Impact: Unpacking the Dichotomy / 14th SEPTEMBER 18:30-21:00 Resistance to Occupation: Civil Disobedience or Violent Opposition?
