Today 10/10/10 is witnessing events around climate solutions worldwide. We here at 7iber are kicking off Green Week with content dedicated to environmental issues. On the events agenda, the Royal Film Commission in collaboration with the French Cultural Center and the German and American Embassies are organizing a film festival titled “Seeing Green,” with some award-winning documentaries on various environmental issues.
In other highlights, Eka3 productions is organizing an open fusion night at Las Tapas to mark the birth of Kazamada; a new band of independent talented musicians from Jordan, Lebanon, Palestine, and Egypt.
