معرفی دانشگاه آمریکایی قاهره
دانشگاه آمریکایی قاهره (American University in Cairo)، دانشگاهی آمریکایی است که در سال ۱۹۱۹ میلادی در شهر قاهره در مصر تأسیس شد. این دانشگاه ۶٬۴۵۳ دانشجو دارد و دروس دانشگاهی در این دانشگاه به زبانهای انگلیسی تدریس میشوند. ین دانشگاه متعهد به تدریس و تحقیق در بالاترین سطح است و هنرهای لیبرال استثنایی و آموزش حرفه ای را در محیط متقابل فرهنگی ارائه می دهد. AUC یک فرهنگ رهبری، یادگیری مادام العمر، آموزش مداوم و خدمات در میان فارغ التحصیلان خود را ایجاد می کند و برای کمک های قابل توجه به مصر و جامعه بین المللی در زمینه های مختلف اختصاص داده شده است.
دانشگاه آمریكایی در قاهره در سال 1919 توسط مأموریت آمریكایی در مصر تأسیس شد ، یك مأموریت پروتستان كه با حمایت مالی از كلیسای متحد پرسبیتریای آمریكای شمالی ، به عنوان یك دانشگاه انگلیسی زبان و مدرسه مقدماتی ساخته شده است. چارلز. واتسون ، بنیانگذار دانشگاه ، می خواست برای تأسیس آموزش عالی ، یک موسسه غربی تأسیس کند. AUC به عنوان یک مدرسه مقدماتی و یک دانشگاه در نظر گرفته شده بود. مدرسه مقدماتی در 5 اکتبر 1920 در کاخ خیری پاشا ، که در دهه 1860 ساخته شده بود ، برای 142 دانش آموز افتتاح شد. اولین گواهینامه های صادر شده گواهینامه های سطح دانشگاه در سال 1923 به 20 دانشجو داده شد. اختلافاتی بین واتسون ، که علاقه مند به ایجاد اعتبار دانشگاهی دانشگاه بود ، و رهبران یونایتد پرسبیستر در ایالات متحده که به دنبال بازگشت دانشگاه به ریشه های مسیحی خود بودند ، وجود داشته است. چهار سال بعد ، واتسون تصمیم گرفت كه دانشگاه نتوانسته است روابط مذهبی اصلی خود را حفظ كند و بهترین امید آن ارتقاء رفتار اخلاقی و اخلاقی خوب است. در ابتدا محدود به دانش آموزان پسر بود و اولین دانشجوی زن خود را در سال 1928 ثبت نام کرد.
موضوع هزینه زندگی بسیار پایین یکی از عوامل بسیار مهم جهت تحصیل دانشجویان در کشور مصر بوده است. شهر cario بالاترین رتبه را در سال 2012 به دلیل فارغ التحصیل شدن بهترین دانشجویان از دانشگاه های این شهر کسب کرد. ناگفته نماند که این شهر با شهر مکزیک رقابت های نزدیکی داشت. به دلیل اینکه هزینه زندگی پایین بسیار مورد توجه افراد بود، لذا دانشجویان مصر را برای تحصیل و به عنوان مقصد خود انتخاب کردند، چرا که این کشور تعداد پنج دانشگاه برتر جهان را در خود جای داده است.
شهر قاهره(کاریو)
بسیاری از بازدید کنندگان شهر کاریو، این شهر را به عنوان شهری که سراسر پوشیده از مناطق دیدنی و اصوات بسیار زیبا می باشد توصیف می نمایند. لذا شما به عنوان یک دانشجو قادر به استفاده از این مناطق، رفتن به کافه های مورد علاقه، بازارها، گوش دادن به موسیقی های مورد نظر و استفاده از مناظر بسیار زیبای رود نیل خواهید بود. کسانی که از فرهنگ کشور مصر لذت می برند، قادر به کشف خانه های اپرا ( جایی که شما قادر به دیدن اپرا خواهید بود )، دیدن رقص باله، اجرای گروه ارکست، گروه موسیقی جاز، رقص های مدرن و بازدید از مناطق دیدنی ماورای جهان خواهند بود. باید بدانید که این شهر در صنعت فیلم، نحوه میزبانی و برگزاری جشن های فیلم سازی بین المللی پیشرفت بسیاری کرده است.
قاهِرِه و بزرگترین شهر جهان عرب و خاورمیانه است. این شهر در بخش شمال شرقی مصر در نزدیکی دلتای نیل جای دارد، رود نیل از میانش میگذرد و دریای مدیترانه در ۱۶۵ ک. م شمال آن میباشد. کلانشهر قاهره با ۱۴٬۴۵۰٬۰۰۰ نفر و ۸۶٬۳۶۹ ک. م مساحت، شانزدهمین شهر پرجمعیّت جهان است.
قاهره در سال ۹۶۹ م (۳۵۸ ق ۳۴۷ ش) ساخته شد. در طول تاریخ پایتخت خاندانهای بزرگ مصر بودهاست و از مهمترین مراکز تمدن اسلامی در سدههای میانه بودهاست و در سدهٔ ۱۰ م جز نیشابور و بغداد همتایی در جهان اسلام نداشت؛ از این رو، امروزه غنی از مسجدهای تاریخی (که بدین سبب به شهرِ هزار منار مشهور است)، موزههای مصر باستان و تاریخ اسلامی، کتابخانهها و مؤسسات نشر است و مرکز گسترش فکری اسلامی و عربی شمرده میشود. این شهر همچنین دارای قدیمیترین و بزرگترین صنعت فیلمسازی و موسیقی در جهان عرب است. به سبب دانشگاه الازهر، که به عنوان یک مدرسه در سال ۹۷۰ م ساخته شد، دومین بنیاد کهنِ آموزشی عالی در جهان بهشمار میرود. در حال حاضر این شهر یک پایتخت ملی با طراوت و پر رفتوآمد است و به ازای هر مایل مربع یکی از بیشترین تراکمهای جمعیتی دنیا را دارد. با وجود اینکه شهر در تنازع با تأثیرات منفی اجتماعی و محیطی تراکم جمعیت است ولی همچنان به عنوان مرکز اصلی سیاسی، اقتصادی و فرهنگی مصر و نخستین مقصد برای گردشگران باقی ماندهاست.
هنرهای نمایشی: خانهٔ اپرای قاهره جدید (کانون فرهنگی ملی) در سال ۱۹۸۰ و پس از اینکه خانهٔ اپرای اصلی متعلق به قرن نوزدهم در سال ۱۹۷۱ در آتش ویران شد، مورد بازسازی قرار گرفت و اکنون عرصهٔ اصلی برای هنرهای نمایشی شهر است. در خانهٔ اپرای قاهره تئاتر سیاحتی و برنامهٔ گروههای موسیقی، باله و شرکت اپرای باله و ارکستر قاهره برنامه اجرا میکنند.
اپرای قاهره در جایگاههای نمایشی شبیه به پارک ناحیهٔ جزیره (Gazirah Exhibition Grounds) واقع شدهاست که شامل تئاتر در فضای آزاد، آمفی تئاتر و دو سالن سرپوشیدهاست. مرکز مجهز و جدیدتر کنفرانس بینالمللی قاهره با گنجایش ۲۵۰۰ صندلی در حومهٔ شهری مدینه النصر (Madinat Nasr)، پیشکشی از جانب چینیها در سال ۱۹۹۱ بود. این مرکز در سال بعد و با اجرای بالهٔ گریگورویچ بالت (Grigorovich Ballet) از تئاتر بولشوی روسیه، گشایش یافت. جایگاههای اجرای مردمی قاهره اسلامی به ویژه در دورهٔ تعطیلات ماه رمضان خانهٔ مجموعههای هنری زینب خاتون (Zeinab Khatoun) و القاری (Al-Ghouri) هستند. نمایشها و کنسرتها نیز در تالار اورت (Ewart Hall) و سالن تئاتر والاس (Wallace Theater)، واقع در محوطهٔ دانشگاه آمریکایی قاهره، به اجرا در میآید. قاهره مرکزی برای تئاتر مشروع عربی است اگرچه این اجرائات در معرض سانسور دولتی هستند. رقص باله و مدرن از محبوبیت قابل ملاحظهای در قاهره برخوردارند، شرکت رقص باله (بالهٔ قاهره) در سال ۱۹۶۰ و با کمک اتحاد جماهیر شوروی که معلمین رقص خود را برای آموزش اعضای شرکت به قاهره فرستاد، تأسیس شد. هر چند با اخراج مشاورین شوروی از مصر در سال ۱۹۷۲ اجرای بالهٔ روسی نیز پایان یافت. بعد از این از کیفیت کاری گروههای هنری کاسته شد ولی در سال ۱۹۹۱ و با اضافه شدن رقصندههایی از روسیه و ایتالیا این گروهها تقویت شدند. قاهره را نیز پایتخت سینمای جهان عرب میدانند، تئاتر عروسکی قاهره از اکتبر تا می و در باغهای ازبکیه (Ezbekiyya Gardens) واقع در شمال آتابا (Ataba)، به اجرا در میآید
