(Bayt al-Jazira – Mala Cizîrê – ܒܝܬܐ ܕܓܖܪܬܐ)
We start with you the project of (Bayt al-Jazira) with our different colors, clothes, dishes, weddings, customs and our distinct cultures aiming at strengthening communication among the communities of the Jazira of the Kurds, Arabs, Syriac, Assyrians, and Yazidis, as one of the most important alternatives to the culture of hatred by celebrating cultural differences and promoting them as an essential pillar in building and preserving civil peace and coexistence, and promoting societal cohesion factors through interaction in a common public space.
Preparations for the project started on August 1st, and will continue until the end of next October.
The project includes organizing various activities, including: (readings and discussions in a number of books dealing with the historical, social and cultural development of the Jazira’s communities. Songs and music of each community, its history and phases of development. The food of each community and its distinctive traditional dishes. The traditional dress of each community and its symbolism. Participation in holding events specific to each community. Political-rights-social dialogue and debate to develop the language of communication among these communities.)
This project comes as an attempt to show the importance of the cultural richness of the different indigenous communities who live side by side in the Jazira region by emphasizing the common points that unite them, such as memory and symbols, because of their role in promoting the concept of multiculturalism which is a fundamental pillar of coexistence.
