Hay Festival have teamed up with Beirut Art Center, British Council, Literature Across Frontiers and other partners to put together a three-day festival with writers, journalists, bloggers and thinkers; the events will take place at Beirut Art Center and Zico House with talks, debates and workshops.<\/p>\n<p>  Hay now runs 15 festivals across five continents at which the re-imaginings of international writers gathered together and current political thought cross cultural and genre boundaries and foster the exchange of understanding, mutual respect and ideas.<\/p>\n<p>  For 25 years Hay Festival have brought together writers from around the world to debate and share stories at its festival in the staggering beauty of the Welsh Borders. Hay celebrates great writing from poets and scientists, lyricists and comedians, novelists and environmentalists, and the power of great ideas to transform our way of thinking. The Hay Festival organizers believe the exchange of views and meeting of minds that their festivals create inspire revelations personal, political and educational. Hay is, in Bill Clinton&#8217;s phrase, &#8216;The Woodstock of the mind&#8217;.<\/p>\n<p> <strong>Special Formula:<\/strong>Please contact Beirut Art Center to book tickets.<br \/>  \u2028Email: info@beirutartcenter.org<br \/>  \u2028Tel: +961 (0)1 397 018<\/p>\n<p> <strong>Special Feature:<\/strong>All events are free but ticketed. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hay Festival Beirut 2012 program brings the most exciting voices of contemporary culture to the city.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":562449,"template":"","tags":[],"class_list":["post-16423","directory","type-directory","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-festivals"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v27.7 (Yoast SEO v27.7) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-premium-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>&quot;Imagine the World&quot;
