Note from Todd Breyfogle, director, Seminars, The Aspen Institute: Aspen Seminar participant Amr Attia reflects on how his time in Aspen shaped his involvement in Egypt’s march to democracy. An architect and university professor in Cairo, Attia visited Aspen in August 2010 to attend the Aspen Seminar on leadership, values and the good society.
The Aspen Seminar - For more than 50 years, the signature Institute seminar (formerly) the "Executive Seminar") has challenged civic and business leaders to probe timeless ideas and values. Based on classical and contemporary texts, the seminar explores timeless ideas and their timely application through Socratic conversation. The sublime settings of Aspen, Colorado and Maryland's Chesapeake Bay region are ideal for rejuvenating body, mind, and spirit.
