December 4, 2020: Syria cultural evening – lecture “Syria before the war” – Postponed due to the Corona situation.
When we think of Syria today, violence, terror and armed conflict have unfortunately dominated the image we have of the country for years. But Syria is an ancient cultural country and at the same time a country in which members of different faiths have lived peacefully together for centuries.
Daniela Lieberwirth wants to take you to the lively capital Damascus with its jasmine-covered streets, the trading metropolis of Aleppo with the impressive citadel and the extensive covered bazaar streets. To the Christian Maalula, where Aramaic was spoken until the war, to the famous ruins of Palmyra, to the water wheels of Hama, just to name the most important places. And again and again it is above all the encounters with the people that made trips to Syria so impressive.
Free entry.
Due to the Corona rules, places must be firmly assigned in advance. Please register by November 28th at the latest at kulteurasia@gmail.com.
