Lectures and Talks
Listed here is a selection of lectures and talks given within the context of the education of the Beshara School. Some of these were reminders given to students by Bulent Rauf, consultant to the School between 1975-1987. Others are papers by the principal of the School, Peter Young. Yet others are transcripts or recordings of talks given by visitors to Beshara, or by students of the School. Papers are added to this list regularly. Please note that the views expressed by visiting speakers are not necessarily those of the Beshara School.
