    Ramadan Kareem!

    The smell of burning incense and the sight of do-gooders giving away care packages at stoplights can only mean one thing: The Holy Month is here.

    The world, and the region more specifically, has taken a few hits in the past year. But with the arrival of Ramadan, we all need to be reminded of our humanity. Ramadan is all about unity and

    solidarity, so this issue focuses on connecting with the world in a positive way. This month, were bringing you inspiring stories of Muslims from around the world. Uplifting stories about social entrepreneurs, heroes and everyday people who will hopefully push some of us to make a conscious decision to be kind to the world and to each other.

    The article Muslim Heroes is very close to our hearts. With all the negative press surrounding Muslims, we wanted to take back the narrative and show what Islam is all about. The people mentioned in the article have all fundamentally impacted the lives of the people around them with their acts of courage or ingenuity. When you put down our magazine this month, we hope you feel a little more connected, because that is the greatest thing humans do. We connect with each other.

    A venture by ACE Events to focus on the creative Saudi economy.

    InitiationAn idea initiated by Alshareef Muwafak Alharith, founder of ACE Group, came to reality through the Ejadah Confex. The notion was to take a different shift by focusing on the creative and innovative Saudi economy, along with raising awareness on intellectual property. Despite the many challenges, ACE Events pushed for its first appearance this year at the Bay La Sun Hotel in KAEC.

    ConceptBased on research on creative economies, it was concluded that globally, the creative and cultural economy has become a powerful transformative force today. It comprises of many fields including advertising, architecture, art, design, fashion, film, music and publishing.

    "Unlocking the potential of the creative economy in KSA will result in promoting the

    overall creativity of societies, affirming the distinctive local identity where it flourishes and clusters, improving the quality of life, enhancing local image and prestige and strengthening the resources for imagining diverse new futures, said Ejadah Confexs Project Manager, Mais El Ras.Ejadah would also like to educate inventors on how to protect their ideas through bringing forward IP companies in KSA to issue patent applications.

    We are hoping to create an innovative hub through this name along with the use of

    different channels to promote the creative economy,

    Where teaching transforms to learning.

    It all began with an idea to develop a school which could provide students with international high quality education without having to accept the trade off of giving up on their own language and heritage. It also had to be a school using modern ways of teaching, and that is where Swedish partner Kunskapsskolan came in, with their proven KED Program for personalized learning. Based on the successfully proven approach of the KED program by Kunskapsskolan, an international network of

    schools for managers, teachers and students to cooperate and collaborate in several countries.

    When asked how Nn Academy aimed to achieve this, Nirmeen Alireza, the Educational Director replied, The KED Program provides a proven structure for this that puts the student and the students learning at the center, restructuring every resource around the student. The KED Program also caters for a glocal (global and local)approach at the same time. Through the KED Network

    teachers and students connect with other KED Schools worldwide, preparing the students for a global life. Yet, it has no set curriculum, in each country the KED Schools follow different curriculums providing ample room for local grounding.

    One core element of Nn Academy is to realize that every child is unique, and that education has to be

    rethought and redesigned based on this.

    Nirmeen Alireza

    Each student has a personal coach. With the guidance of their coach, our students set and work towards their own personal goals. Students allocate their study time based on their previous educational experience as well as their individual strengths and weaknesses. Personalized education should not be confused with students being left on their own without guidance or teaching. This is not about cutting down teacher resources, it is about maximizing teachers time spent on their most important task teaching and coaching, says Alireza.

    Nn Academy, in cooperation with Kunskapsskolan and Emkan Education, a local consultancy, developed a

    digital learning portal, the first of its kind. It is based on international and regional curriculums which have been adapted to ensure high international academic standards, local grounding and character development. The learning portal allows students to take ownership of their learning, as the full curriculum and a large part of the learning material is structured and accessible online. The Portal enables teachers to work in a structured way and together with induction and ongoing professional training throughout the year, the teachers are allowed to become excellent educators.

    Both Kunskapsskolan and Nn Academy are value-driven organizations that embody the following: Ethic of excellence All people are different High expectations Glocal education Human consciousness Education for life and beyond Agency and empowerment with Life is what I make it.

The establishment of ACT was a convergence of like-minded individuals who formed a team with the intention to give back to their city. There was a need to have a hub of helping hands in regards to mental and emotional wellbeing for all ages, especially in Jeddah. No other center offers services as diverse as ACT.

    The team at ACT exists for their clients. During the past 4 years, they have been aiding with the psychological and emotional welfare of individuals and families by providing accessible and innovative mental health care services.

    A community charity fund has been put in place, which is used to giving back to society. The center has taken on several pro bono cases, such as those afflicted with illnesses, those going through trauma and PTSD, people who have taken refuge and many more. There are several ways that people can reach out through ACT, either to get or give help.

    For example, individuals can take on cases by offering to sponsor someone financially. They can also extend their time and services with the ACT team to help refugees, cancer patients and others who have suffered abuse of any form. Abuse of any kind might not be stoppable that easily, but collective effort may be the way to constrain it.

    When a person goes through trauma of any kind, there are long-term repercussions that influence the individual's loved ones. The Center helps patients with chronic illnesses cope with their illnesses and work on the psychological aspect. Act, through its continuous work, has addressed these issues. The center focuses on building a safe haven where it is always easy to get help, whether its adults or children.

    The growing demand for training courses and certification probably reflects a growth in awareness and interest in self and career development.

    FINANCIAL PLANNING W I T H R E E M A S A A D

    Determine your learning objective. Is it basic or business communication skills; academic certification; research writing or other?

    Check the specialty and strength areas of your learning institute before signing up. Some centers focus on conversational English (or other languages) while others focus on grammar and writing.

    Check the credentials of the instructors and the teaching staff. If the desired language is not the mother tongue of the instructor, do check their background and years in training.

    Do not assume that the promised course duration will deliver best results. Learning varies across students and so does the effort and level of persistence.

    A certificate is worth nothing if it is not coupled with real learning. That is why you should not buy your way to progress. Work it up.

    THE COST OF LEARNING A NEW LANGUAGE

    training saw unprecedented growth especially with the commencement of scholarship programs in 2010. The cost of such training is often high (sometimes north of SR 4,000 per month) but the quality of the outcome does not always match the price. I personally recommend that no training should be attempted without discussing the objectives and course methods first.

    Many students pay large fees expecting quick results. When it does not work, all they remember is the financial cost.

    For best results, Maha Noor Elahi (@MahaNoorElahi), an English Language Lecturer at Dar Al Hekma University, offered the following tips:

    Motivating students in entrepreneurship is having the ability to allow students to imagine, to be creative, to take and manage risks, to have a can-do attitude and the drive to make ideas happen, says the Principal of The World Academy at KAEC, William Fraser.

    Being an ardent believer of the above mentioned and an advocate for entrepreneurial activity with its Entrepreneurship Ecosystem, King Abdullah

    It included sessions and workshops facilitated by international trainers and mentors from KAEC and other established operations in the city. Research by the European Commission has indicated that 20% of students who participate in business-related activities at secondary school will later start their own company.

    The winning team received SR 5,000 to implement their plan along with complimentary office space in the KEE Zone space at KAEC and ongoing mentoring and training support.

    By creating the suitable environment for new businesses, the city aims to support the growth of small and medium-sized enterprises as they contribute to around 33 percent of Saudi Arabias GDP and provide a little under 20 percent of jobs, according to the SME Finance Forum.

    Tips on getting the youth involved:

    Never say, that cant be done because a solution is always available.

    Teach them to think outside the box

    Make sure they are prepared to fail and ready to take a risk.

    Developing entrepreneurial skills as part of education helps students build the

    abilities they will need to excel in all areas of endeavor.

    On Jan. 9, while stacking shelves at a grocery store in Paris, Bathily heard gunshots. He quickly ushered a dozen shoppers into a walk-in fridge in the basement, and shut off the exhaust fan to reduce noise. As he was comforting panicked customers, an armed terrorist took hostages in the grocery store above and opened fire killing four people.

    Two things: 1- Reaching home by

    iftar time to find all kinds

    of healthy and delicious

    dishes prepared. 2- Gathering at meal

    times. It adds a special

    flavor to Ramadan.

    Easiest thing about Ramadan abroad:Not having to cook every

    day is a blessing. Having

    friends is great; we did

    a handful of cook-overs

    and group dinners since

    a house is the only place

    that has no closing hours.

    But its mostly the online

    food delivery, which is

    seriously a life changer.

    What's the first thing you learned how to cook when you had to make your own iftar?We didn't really have to cook anything, as we would get bags of food from the cafeteria's cook. She was pretty generous with the portions and she would always make these exquisite cheese breads!

    The first Ramadan I spent abroad was in Manchester in 2012. Maghrib prayer was almost after nine, so we only prayed the night prayer on the weekends since its timing was late. There was an old British Muslim man in our institute, who was overjoyed with our presence and hed join us for iftar at times. He became a friend and even saw us off at the airport.

    BRINGING IT HOME Ramadan a la Jeddah.By Alia Alansari

    Theres a certain whiff in the air around town, and its not the humidity signaling the beginning of a scalding summer. Its the cooling wave of spirituality and excitement of Jeddawis anticipating for the holy month of Ramadan.

    Cruising around the cornich, you start seeing a trace of Ramadan lights going up with an aroma of cardamom and coffee at kiosks preparing

    extending hellos and food platters. More importantly, you will reunite with your loved ones over a decadent table of food.

    for iftar picnics. Its the holy month of connecting deeply to religion and to Arab pride that appears through embroidered linen gowns, fried goods, bazaars and packed mosques.

    It starts with a decorating trip to Souq Al Shate, with the flamboyant red and Islamic designs covering every corner, with customers haggling their way to get the best deals from the little shops. Singing lanterns and decorative ornaments that dangle from palm trees illuminate the streets and the hearts. The month is only official when your mom asks you to bring down the box of gimmicks from storage.

    Soon, kindness will radiate through the streets with young men standing at traffic lights waiting to feed those stuck in traffic at iftar and neighbors

    Its about the old meeting the new, Al Balad revisited with floods of people remembering old Hijaz, the different generations getting together without the excuse of life or stifling schedules.

    Lastly, its about our Islamic heritage brought back home to where it all started, with Makkah and Madinah just a drive away. Its about being close to the spirit of Islam alongside our modern celebrations in a city Muslims can call home.

    EXCEPTIONAL ART With Hend Al Thubaity Our artist of the month creates mesmerizing creations that merge traditional and modern together. By Sahrish Ali

    A look into Al Thubaitys world of art.

    ABOUT THE ARTIST I am a lecturer at King Abdulaziz University. There are a few coming exhibits that will be announced soon. But mostly I post my work daily on my Instagram page.

    ART AS A PASSIONAl Thubaity grew up around art and it became part of her personality from an early age. Since grade school she learned working with traditional oils, then started dabbling with mixed mediums. Her biggest fans and main support started with her family and twin sister.

    One of Al Thubaity's latest works now adorns the walls of Medd Caf.

    DESCRIBING HER ARTAs with any art project, there are many hidden elements that the artist knows and experiences. She explains blending everyday objects with a fantastical twist. I would call it contemporary Islamic art. My art arises from contemporary concepts, which focus on our traditional notions and modern world perception. However, my designs are inspired by traditional Islamic art geometry. My illustrations depict the geometric repetitions that echo my concepts.

    ART MEDIUMS The kind of mediums you use for your art plays a huge role in defining your art style. Our artist mostly focuses on mixed media paintings and then digitally transforms them. Sometimes she creates pottery pieces out of her illustrations. I would say my work is mostly a mash up of all the different forms of art that I have learned and experienced.

    CHALLENGING THE TRADITIONAL

    BOUNDARIES

    Her traditional influences are evident in her work.

    Merging traditional and modern.

    I am an Islamic art graduate so Islamic geometric designs have always been

    inspiring to me. I use conceptual design

    while sticking to traditional Islamic

    pattern concepts; it has always been a

    form of decorative art to me. My work arises from using motifs that

    are from todays world while

    implementing the same traditional

    techniques. Hend Al Thubaity

    Eyad Mashat How Did He Make It?

    Eyad Mashat discusses his entrepreneurial passion and femi9s success.

    Why fashion? Having the know-how surely has a strong influence; Al Mashat family has been working in fashion and retail since 1934. I have been involved hands-on in all related processes from a very young age, and I have grown to love it.

    What was your ultimate goal behind launching femi9? My dream was to have a widely spread womenswear brand, with many branches across Saudi Arabia, I wanted to be serving women in all cities. My vision was to grow a powerful entity in my country.

  • 59DESTINATIONKSA.COM

    How did the idea of femi9 first spark? I was 25 years old, finished with my college degree in Switzerland, back in Saudi Arabia and driven to launch my own fashion business; and so I did, but that was not femi9. I launched another fashion brand that lived for only 8 months tried and missed. I did not succeed in exploring the psychology of my target market and understand its needs. That was the time when I had a serious reality check, where I assessed my experience and derived learnings which set me to create femi9 with more confidence and experience.

    To you, what is success? In my opinion, you succeed when you achieve milestones towards your vision and as it evolves, you set new milestones and track your accomplishments along the way. That is what makes success so rewarding, it validates your potential and raises your bar.

    Tell us about the femi9 brand revamp. Why and how? We rebranded femi9 in 2012, introducing the market to a clearer brand identity and an enhanced shopping experience. It was a key milestone that we had to undertake; the market is evolving, we understand our customer better, and femi9 was ready to go to the next level. The new logo merges between English and Arabic, communicating that the brand comes from an Arabian origin and operates with international standards. The stores and all other brand

    touchpoints were refreshed to convey the brand feel and serve our customers better.

    Tell us about your experience in Tedx Jeddah. A lot of the achievements I work towards are inspired by my family, Tedx was one of them. My eldest daughter, Tala, was looking forward to my Tedx talk; knowing that, I was eager to truly deliver to Tala and to the audience attending. The topic I addressed was titled Decoding Your Fears; fear holds us back and limits us. My talk focused on how you can decipher your fears and eliminate them, in order to achieve your vision and reach your potential.

    Your vision for femi9 by 2020 We plan to have reached 100 branches; femi9 will be available with 72 stores by 2017 and we are working on mega-expansion projects.

    Cool, smart, rebellious and

    Your take on advertising is different. Most brands feature celebrity faces in their campaigns, but not yours. If you are using celebs, it is not you talking, but the celebrity. We want our product to talk and this is why we go with normal people who are not so normal. Its more loyal and relatable to the consumer.

    Would you think of customizing Diesels collections just for our region?When you listen to music, if you dont hear the same song as everyone else, you feel second best. So I want to use one tone of language globally, because we are for everyone, but I like the idea of doing special customizations for certain regions.

    your inspiration, here are crafty tips on how to bring festivity into your home using some of the collection items.

    During Ramadan gatherings, most of the action takes place during iftar and suhoor and at the table. Add Ramadan-flavored tablecloth and napkins for a complete set while placing lanterns around the

    table during iftar to further add a feel of the holy month. From drinking laban or re-fills of soobia to break your fast, use IKEAs glass carafe to quench your thirst, mess free.

    Post iftar, families and friends gather around the television for some entertainment. Use DOFTRIKs colorful floor cushions and rugs as an Arabesque seating majlis. Place lanterns and tea light holders to keep the ambience soft and serene, and dont forget the cozy throws!

    Decorate the carafes with your children; for every good deed they do throughout

    the month, place a donation in

    the carafe and then give that to the less fortunate.
