Our movie night on 20 March was 'Paradise Now', a film set in the context of the Palestinian conflict. The film was very insightful and thought-provoking, and the discussion afterwards grappled with some very difficult questions.
Syrian women enjoyed a social evening in the office on 11 March. The office will be open on Thursday evenings from 6-10 pm for women and we are open for all women to join.
We attended the 'Celebration of Muslim Women's Achievements' on Saturday 5 March which proved to be a lovely evening. This event highlighted some of the many achievements of a diverse group of Muslim women. Syrian women also contributed to this event by highlighting the struggles and the successes of Syrian women despite five years of conflict.
Rethink Rebuild Society showed the film ‘A Syrian love story’ on Sunday 28 February 2016 followed by a discussion about the film and about the Syrian cause in general and of refugees more specifically.
Our Refugee Support Coordinator spoke at a dinner held by the University of Manchester's Islamic Society about Syrians' ethical, academic and career successes during their UK experience. This dinner was hosted by the Islamic Society to welcome new Syrians to the community.
