conversations across the Middle East and North Africa with a series of debates
discussing issues important to people's lives in Jordan, Kuwait and Sudan.

As part of a season of programmes exploring workers' rights, 大象传媒 Arabic will
broadcast live from Kuwait on Wednesday 15 November 2006 and from Jordan on Wednesday 29
November at 1500 GMT.

The听programmes involve studio听audiences as well as 大象传媒
Arabic listeners who will call in from around the world.

They will focus on
issues around migrant and domestic workers and the events will be broadcast on
national television in Kuwait and Jordan.听听

The service's website, bbcarabic.com, will feature video diaries taking an inside
look at the lives of migrant and domestic workers.

大象传媒 Arabic will also meet with audiences in Sudan with its Sudan: Voices And
Views From Within roadshow.

The roadshow features three main topics - the
education of women, migration from the countryside to the city and development
and unemployment.

The first debate takes place in Khartoum on Monday 4
December before moving to Wad Medani on Wednesday 6 December and then Port
Sudan on Saturday 9 December.
