The Faculty of Education and Arts at the Lebanese German University – LGU organized a conference on issues relating to teaching today’s students.

The conference that was held on Tuesday 26th March was attended by students, teachers, and a host of people working in the education field. Guest speakers and psycho-analytical therapists, Martine Abou Zeid and Rita Jreijiri, elaborated on the difficulties faced by teachers in the 21st century and their ability to manage stress through transactional analysis.
