Dr Farah Al-Nakib is holding a talk entitled: “Beyond Demolition and Heritage: On the Conservation and Re-Use of Kuwait City’s Early Oil Landscape.” The event is going to be looking at the importance of preserving and reusing old buildings in Kuwait instead of demolishing them or turning them into museums which is what seems to always be the case in Kuwait. Dr Farah will be sharing some real examples of how some people (mainly businesses) have made use of old buildings to revive areas and create “locally made business communities”. One great example she will be sharing is the Seif Palace strip where Pink Moon, Slider Station and Burger Hub are located.

If you’re interested in attending the event it will be held in Dar al-Athar al-Islamiyyah this Tuesday. For more information click [Here]

I used to be a boy scout back in Lebanon and it was a lot of fun and a great way to meet new people so I’m glad something similar is available in Kuwait. If you’re interested in joining the scouts or want to find out more about whats involved, they have an event coming up which is an introductory to being a scout in Kuwait. Here are some more details:

Scout Night – Learn about scouting in Kuwait
Cub Scouts – Boys Scouts – Venture Scouts – Girl Scouts
Date: Tuesday, September 13 2011
Location: American School of Kuwait
Time: 5:30pm in the Auditorium

An important note, since this is a US sponsored program, you can only take part if you currently attend an American school or if you’re a US citizen. This is also only available to students from kindergarten up to high school.

Update: Turns out anyone from any nationality can join the scouts and you don’t need to be in an American school.

I got this by email:
