Rethink Rebuild Society's manager, Dr Haytham Alhamwi, delivered a lecture as part of a Reconstruction and Development course at the University of Manchester on Thursday, 15 April 2021. Dr Alhamwi explained the Syrian crisis and the reasons that led millions of Syrians to flee Syria.
On 24 March 2021, the Home Secretary Priti Patel made a statement to parliament setting out the new plan for immigration, including the deportation of refugees and asylum seekers arriving in the UK via routes deemed illegal or unauthorised by the government.
As you know, 2021 marks the 10th anniversary of the Syrian uprising. Therefore, RR hosted a facintaing talk by Eric Selbin, Professor of Political Science at Southwestern University - Texas. Professor Selbin argued that we must look and listen to real people in the real world making real choices that really matter.
On Friday 11 December 2020, our finale of Celebrating Syria 2020 ended with a live DJ set from Hello Psychaleppo and Boshoco. These two extraordinarily talented DJ's with huge performances, albums and awards under their belts performed rhythms deeply rooted in Arabic music tradition but with a poignant, contemporary twist. Thank you all for tuning in.
On 10 December 2020, we were thrilled to have five of the funniest Arabs in the UK for a night of virtual, but real, comedy and the event was SOLD OUT on ZOOM! It was an event of pure giggles and audience truly enjoyed it.
So who are they, really?
