CAABU performs a vital function as a bridge between the Arab and British communities. The diverse range of high profile speakers that CAABU attracts to its public events, on an array of topics (democratization, the Maghreb, the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, to name a few), provides a unique opportunity for members of the British public to learn more about the Arab World.

CAABU’s educational role goes much further than this. Sadly, many British schools do not cover the Middle East in their regular curriculum, and they are only starting to face up to the problem of ‘Islamophobia’. CAABU is at the forefront of tackling this worrying tendency, and its visiting speaker service provides students with an insight into some of the most important issues of the day that they would otherwise be sorely lacking.
