Celebrating Syria 2019

2 November, 2019 (All day) to 9 November, 2019 (All day)

Arts and culture are important components of any national identity. When a country has been embroiled in prolonged conflict it is all the more important that the population, both at home and abroad, keep alive this vital link to their homeland. Syrians, like many others, do this through music, dance, food, theatre, film, and getting together to have fun, reminisce about home and tell their stories.
