Please join us weekely stay as long as you like.
Kline, College Room 5:00 pm – 6:00 pm EDT/GMT-4
Language tables are held at Kline and entail about an hour of casual discussion during meal times, where students interested in a language get to know each other and practice colloquial conversations. They are held by the tutor of the language, and although sometimes professors join the table, it is a very low-stakes and fun setting to immerse yourself in a language, its culture and the foreign language community at Bard.

Film Screening and Q & A with Director Stephen Apkon

In the midst of darkness, we discover who we truly are. There is Another Way tells the story of a group of visionaries who refuse to surrender to violence and injustice, and in doing so show that another path is possible—for them, for us, and for all humanity. As we are all faced with essential questions about who we are, will we choose collective liberation, where the needs, rights, and safety of all are prioritized?

Combatants for Peace, nominated for two Nobel Peace Prizes, is an extraordinary bi-national group of former enemy combatants—Israelis and Palestinians—working together during an ongoing armed conflict. Confronted with the devastation and escalating violence of October 7th and the war in Gaza, the very core of the movement faces great challenges in showing that there is another way. A follow up to the award-winning documentary Disturbing the Peace, about questioning the narrative we are born into, There is Another Way is about choosing our future. It takes courage to walk a path even when you yourself feel overwhelmed and afraid, a path where you don’t know the final answer, only that it will emerge from standing in the grief of what humanity has experienced and created.
