The Institute of Theatre, Audiovisual and Cinematic Studies (IESAV) at Saint-Jospeh University of Beirut is organizing a Masterclass titled "The Naked Truth : Navigating life after university with emotional intelligence and AI" led by Yuri Mrakadi. 

About the Masterclass

What happens when life after university stops following the script? Drawing on his own setbacks, successes and reinventions, and on stories of well-known public figures, Yuri Mrakadi guides participants through practical exercises in emotional intelligence: understanding reactions, handling criticism, communicating with clarity and acting under uncertainty. A central focus: facing an AI-driven future with critical thinking and control over one’s own decisions.
