Because of the extended COVID-19 threat, TAKREEM's founder, Ricardo Karam, decided to continue with his work expanding his existing platforms and portfolio of work to include online interviews using his signature style. Using the ZOOM technology he was able to bring to screen key Arab world figures that stamped this period with their influence. Those one-on-one interviews were watched with an exclusive group of participants who were able to register beforehand and submit their questions to the guests. The live interviews are being aired as premieres on Ricardo Karam's YouTube channel where they remain available for viewing by the public. With technology bringing the world together with few easy touches on everyone's computer, phone screen, or headphone and in alignment with Ricardo's goal of bringing the new generations closer to world inspirational figures, these interviews proved to be a big success in a time where the world is fogged by dark uncertainty and unclear future vision. Past guests were, Thomas J. Barrack Jr. discussing business and politics, Zaki Nusseibeh on cultural diplomacy,Prince Turki al-Faisal on memory and politics, and Ibrahim Maalouf on memory and music.
