Refugee Week 2020 (15-21 June) - Kurdish Poetry Reading

Reading poetry can transport us to other worlds, help us understand other peoples lived experience. Poems can give us the words for what we feel and ways to express it to others. Poems can bring us out of ourselves and feel less isolated.

A #SimpleAct. Watch this video with Sirwan from Kurdistan in Northern Iraq reading some Kurdish poetry for Refugee Week 2020 with a handy translation for non-Kurdish speakers.
