On 8 December 2020, we welcomed Itab Azzam, co-director of We are not Princesses, for a Q&A about this engaging and woefully accurate documentary that follows four Syrian refugee women take part in a creative theatre workshop whilst in a refugee camp in Beirut. It was a highly engaging discussion with Itab.
On 7 December 2020, we were ecstatic to welcome The Pianist of Yarmouk to Celebrating Syria 2020. Aeham Ahmad played some of his finest pieces of music and told us about his experiences in Syria, where oppression meant that no one could think, write, or play music freely. It was a beautiful night!
On 6 December 2020, and as part of Celebrating Syria Festival , we were joined by 5 amazing Cartoonists whose work is admired all over the globe to launch the exhibition of “Cartooning Syria... And the Rest of the World”.
Oud Time with Rihab was the 2nd event of Celebrating Syria Festival 2020. The event took place on 5 December 2020. Rihab played some Arabic music, told us a bit about her journey with the oud and talked us through photos of oud-making steps she witnessed in her own dad's workshop in Syria (luthier Samir Azar).
On Wednesday 15 April 2020 at 7pm we hosted the 3rd episode of virtual talks on our Facebook page. The talk was about “Bullying in Schools” and it was delivered by Mr Ahmad Mujahed Nayef, a computer science and design technology teacher in the UK.
