Syrian_Corners Event in Damascus

The Stability Support Unit, in cooperation with Ta’atef Association for Development, Nonviolent Communication and Charity Work, and in coordination with the Ministry of Social Affairs and Labor in Damascus, organized an event titled #Syrian_Corners.

Attendees included:

The Ministry of Social Affairs and Labor, the Directorate of Social Affairs in Damascus, the Ministry of Sports and Youth, members of the Syrian Parliament, candidates from the electoral body, women active in the political field, representatives from Damascus Governorate, and members of the Ismaili Council.

The first day of #Syrian_Corners presented the vision of the event and its role in highlighting the richness and diversity of Syrian cultures. Several speakers emphasized the importance of creating inclusive spaces that reflect the richness of Syrian society in all its components.

The opening day then transformed into a vibrant space filled with sounds, colors, and flavors. A choir performed selections from Syrian musical heritage, traditional crafts were showcased, reconnecting attendees with the roots of Syrian craftsmanship, and guests enjoyed dishes representing flavors from various cities and villages.

The event also included a visual exhibition portraying Syria through its creators — artists, writers, directors, and poets.

Numerous media outlets covered the event, documenting the activities and participation, in a comprehensive scene celebrating diversity and bringing together all corners of Syria into one national mosaic.

This event is part of the project “Enhancing National Participation and Building Trust – Bridges”, funded by the European Union, Germany, and Denmark, within the framework of the Peace Initiative in Syria implemented by the German Agency for International Cooperation (GIZ).
