We hosted a seminar on hate crime awareness in our multi-facility room on 7 October. This seminar had input from three different speakers: David Willetts from Greater Manchester Police, Fakhrul from Tell Mama, and Shazia Awan from Manchester City Council.
We held our monthly seminar on Sunday 01 Oct 2017 in which we discussed the open question: Are we still Syrians?
The open-platform discussion took place in our multi-facility room. No speakers were present and the floor was open to everyone to express their opinions.
Questions asked included:
- What do I mean when I say I am Syrian?
We held a seminar on Sunday 9th July about the change of the employment of energy resources in the global economy and its implications in the Arab world. Dr. Firas Miro spoke about the great change in the employment of energy resources in the West over the past two decades and how this has affected the political and economic situation in the Middle East.
In our monthly seminar on Sunday the 14th of May, Dr Alachkar presented the results of his Masters' research in psychological trauma which was on "Resilience factors among Syrian refugees in the UK and the role of religion or faith in resilience".
The seminar evoked a lovely discussion after that where many emotional stories were narrated by the audience.
Our monthly seminar, titled 'The Syrian revolution and the circumstances of its emergence and its developments', was delivered on 23rd April 2017 by Ali Sadreddine Al-Bayanouni, the ex-leader and a member of the Syrian Muslim Brotherhood's Shura Council and Executive Office.
