Welcome to The Kurdish Institute

The women present at Markant vzw are introduced in a pleasant and informal way to the matter surrounding the Kurdish issue, and in particular, they are introduced to the rich Kurdish culture. During an aperitif, the ladies receive a general introduction, and afterwards, the subject can be further discussed as desired. Current topics such as human rights, women’s rights and freedom of the press are discussed. Whether there is a direct impact on our society in Flanders is an important question to be answered.

This evening will take place at the initiative of the Markant department in Zottegem.

2019 is the year that the Kurdish Institute celebrates its 40th anniversary. During this Flemish-Kurdish evening – which the Institute is organizing in collaboration with the Flemish People’s Movement – we look back with great pleasure on that long period in which we particularly want to highlight 40 years of Flemish-Kurdish solidarity.

Over the years, the Kurdish Institute has experienced a great deal of sympathy and friendship from the broad Flemish movement. On this occasion, therefore, many prominent Flemish figures are invited who have given a face to Flemish-Kurdish cooperation during those 40 years. Many invited guests and attendees will undoubtedly enjoy ‘a happy reunion’.

It will be an exciting and pleasant evening with informal interviews and a reception with drinks and delicious Kurdish snacks.

Thanks to the dedication and support from the Flemish People’s Movement, the Kurdish Institute receives an amount for the “SOS Rojava & Shengal” campaign.
