As part of both their ongoing series of Conflict Cafes and the IWM's Syria: The Conflict Explored, on Saturday the 5th of May the Imperial War Museum invited Syrians living in the UK to share their stories from Syria and from their journey to the UK.
Our Research & Policy Coordinator delivered a presentation on 4 May at a symposium on the ‘Law and Politics of the Syrian Conflict’ co-hosted by the Centre for Conflict, Rights and Justice (Nottingham Trent University) and Nottingham International Law and Security Centre (University of Nottingham).
On 29 April 2018, we hosted a screening of Syria: The Impossible Revolution (2017), which was followed by a Q&A session with film directors Ronan Tynan and Anne Daly.
The event attracted a large number of attendees and we struggled to fit everyone in our multi-facility room.
Members of the Syrian community of Manchester stood outside Manchester United's Old Trafford stadium prior to its match with Arsenal on April 29th to distribute leaflets and balloons in protest of Russia's hosting of the World Cup - a tournament of peace, while Russia sides with a brutal totalitarian regime that obstructs any chance for peace.
On 23 April 2018, our Managing Director, Dr Haytham Alhamwi, was invited to attend an international symposium entitled: ‘Antisemitism and Immigration in Western Europe Today: is there a connection?’ held in the Houses of Parliament.
