Refugees from different nationalities celebrated the Refugee Day

Description

World Refugee Day 2017 in Syria was a special day this year where hundreds of refugees from Iraq, Sudan, South Sudan, Somalia, Eretria, Ethiopia, and Afghanistan met and celebrated this day by showing their cultures, talents and traditions. UNHCR Syria held an open day with handmade products made by refugees, drawings, art, musical performances and sketches. A very colourful folkloric fashion show with all countries participating was cheered by the audience. Many corners around the event area for painters to draw people, calligraphers to write visitors names in beautiful Arabic letters. The Sudanese wedding sketch grabbed audiences as it was colourful, emotional with a show of traditions and wedding practices. Singers, dancers, painters, artists, ballet, photographers just purely talented people are the refugees living in Syria from over 35 different nationalities. World Refugee day is a day to celebrate and remember Refugees, their resilience, their talents, their hopes and dreams for a better future. We wanted refugees living in Syria to enjoy this day, to sing to dance and express their joy while they show the world their beautiful heritage through art, culture and traditions.
