As part of our work here at Al Muntada, we aim to promote professional, business, and societal growth across our Arabic-speaking community by leveraging university resources, knowledge and expertise.  

Our Goals

  • Create Networking Opportunities: Establish regular networking events or forums for Arabic-speaking academic staff from the university and beyond to connect, share expertise, and foster collaborations.

  • Establish a centralized online platform or resource hub containing materials, guides, and success stories tailored for Arabic-speaking individuals navigating how to start a business and maintain your business in Scotland.

  • Offer professional development workshops and skill-building sessions tailored to the needs and aspirations of Arabic-speaking students, and young community members.

  • Empowerment through skills sharing and encourage active participation and collaboration among members to create a supportive and interconnected community.
