The Arab British Centre conducted an interview with Mustafa Alachkar, one of the coordinators of the Celebrating Syria Festival organised by Rethink rebuild Society. The interview offered an opportunity to learn more about the event and how RR managed to bring some of the most powerful art works that have been produced by Syrian artists to the British audience.
Rethink Rebuild Society organised a social gathering for the Syrian community in Manchester on 31 December at the Werneth House in Oldham. More than 300 Syrians gathered to socialise and enjoy their time together and to eat delicious Shawerma and Falafel sandwiches. Children also enjoyed their time playing and having some fun with some competitions.
