This is part of an exercise to encourage participants to explore folk tales from their culture. Refugees leave their homelands and some are born in asylum. They cannot return home to connect with their culture and heritage. They are also often not accepted or integrated in their countries of asylum.
Caught in between cultures, we are trying to explore how we can learn more about their own heritage and at the same time, learn about the stories of others - finding solidarity, hope and mutual learning.
This time, one of our B360 participants shares the Kurdish folk story behind the story and celebration of Newroz, the Kurdish celebration of spring and new beginnings.
The legend tells of courage, resistance and the triumph of freedom over oppression. It also offers a glimpse into the traditions of Newroz, celebrated through bonfires, traditional music and dancing, colourful clothing, and gatherings with family and friends.
Through stories like these, we hope to bring cultures closer.
