Its mission is to practice and promote ethical values and wellbeing through craftsmanship\, art\, innovation in sustainability\, agriculture and education. Caravane Foundation is exhibiting the first of the buildings it has commissioned to form a new desert village and art and innovation residency. The building\, the Majlis\, is made from bamboo and designed by Simón Vélez and Stefana Simic. Traditionally\, a majlis is the place where people come together in the Arabian Gulf to discuss local events and issues\, exchange news\, receive guests\, and deepen their connection with one another. \nThe Venice symposium addressed the Biennale theme: How will we live together? from a number of perspectives including sustainability; living together in increasingly harsh climates; maintenance of traditional crafts to promote stronger communities; traditional architecture as a solution for living together; and agriculture. Expert speakers came from an interdisciplinary mix of expertise and backgrounds. Organisations represented included the Prince’s Foundation (INTBAU)\, the Smithsonian Institution\, RestART Beirut\, the Musée du Louvre\, and SHDP.

Can one and should one aim to design\, curate and create a cultural destination\, or is this something that evolves naturally over time through the interplay of a number of factors?

Each segment was introduced briefly by two seasoned practitioners: followed by open-floor discussion. High quality\, responsible science reporting is crucial both to public understanding of a range of issues as well as the decisions of government. Over the past two decades the Science and Human Dimension Project at Jesus College\, Cambridge\, has convened conferences as a contribution to public understanding of science. Our aim has been to enhance the quality of the science media and to encourage scientists to participate in outreach to the public.

A constituency of leading journalists\, ethicists and representatives of different faiths discussed the access\, fairness\, balance and quality of ethical perspectives in print\, radio\, TV\, photojournalism and online media. Our aim: to explore ways in which media practitioners at every level can develop and enhance their ethical insights and presentation of issues. This meeting occured at a time when the domains of politics\, medical science\, business\, economics\, the environment\, social and human rights\, face increasingly complex choices and judgments. At the same time\, the world’s leading faiths are experiencing mounting challenges and scrutiny from secular and pluralist standpoints. The conference report is available here.

This conference explored a wide-ranging approach to the topic\, including literary\, historical\, and psychiatric perspectives.The discussion focused particularly on the way in which depression is reported in the media as well biographically and autobiographically.

The speakers went on to draw contrasting conclusions from this circumstance\, and explanations. John Polkinghorne insisted that principle indicated a prime mover or mind in the Universe\, which he would call God\, while Martin Rees invoked a multiverse in which there is an infinite series of Big Bangs\, each resulting in a different set of laws of chemistry and physics. According to this theory we are living in the Universe in which the conditions\, while extraordinary\, are right for life – by chance rather than by design.

Now it has caught the interest of contemporary scientists\, some of whom believe they are on the brink of discovering its basis in neurobiological processes. This meeting of neuroscientists\, psychologists\, philosophers\, theologians and novelists\, discussed the prospects and consequences for finding a scientific explanation of consciousness. Speakers included Margaret Boden\, John Searle\, Steven Rose\, Mary Midgely\, Jeremy Butterfield\, Peter Lipton and David Lodge.
