International Migrants Day aims to raise awareness about the challenges and difficulties of international migration. Migration has been a driving force behind the creation of new cultures, art forms, and societal values throughout history. One fascinating example is the birth of jazz music in New Orleans, which was shaped by the convergence of migrants from diverse backgrounds. The city's unique cultural landscape was formed by the convergence of migrants from diverse backgrounds, including: - African slaves brought to the Americas through the transatlantic slave trade European colonisers and settlers - Latin American immigrants - Caribbean islanders These diverse influences merged to create a distinctive cultural identity in New Orleans, which in turn gave birth to the vibrant and expressive genre of jazz music. #InternationalMigrantsDay #jazz #migrantmusic

Today and every day, let us celebrate the beauty and power of Arabic language! As we mark the International Day of Arabic Language, we honour the rich cultural heritage and literary traditions of the Arab world. From the courageous words of Nawal El Saadawi to the timeless poetry of Al-Khansa, to the stories of Ghada Al-Samman, and the lyrical prose of Sahar Khalifeh, Arabic language has given us a wealth of wisdom, creativity, and inspiration. I found it on a beautiful, sunny day. I found it after great loss: Fresh verdant soil, Wet and flourishing. Fadwa Tuqan 🌿 Let us cherish and promote the diversity of Arabic language and all its dialects an essential part of our cultural and oral heritage, and continue to explore its depths and wonders. #InternationalDayOfArabicLanguage #ArabicLanguage #NawalElSaadawi #GhadaAlSamman #SaharKhalifeh #WorldArabicLanguageDay #fadwatuqan

In our October newsletter, we delve into stories that capture the warmth of home, resilience, and personal growth through the rich colours of nostalgia. From the aroma of Syrian pies evoking memories of a lost homeland to refugee athletes triumphing against adversity, and insights into an artist's creative journey exploring emotions and memories through her dreamscape paintings, these stories remind us that our past continues to shape our present and future. #Qisetna #QisetnaNewsletter #CulturalHeritage #Nostalgia #CreativeJourney
