A Celebration of Kurdish Culture in Edinburgh and Scotland Experience the vibrant and rich traditions of Kurdish music and dance in an afternoon filled with joy, connection, and cultural discovery. This unique event will feature live performances by a local Kurdish music group, comprised of talented musicians Haroun, Amir, and Whitedeer, playing traditional Kurdish instruments such as the oud, saz, and daf. The music will set the rhythm for lively Kurdish circle dances, a cornerstone of Kurdish celebrations. These dances are simple to learn, and experienced members of the Kurdish community will be on hand to teach anyone who wants to join in. Whether you’re an experienced dancer or a complete beginner, this is a wonderful opportunity to move, connect, and immerse yourself in Kurdish culture. No obligation to dance. This workshop is not just about music and dance—it’s a celebration of the Kurdish spirit and heritage, shared in the heart of Scotland. The event is entirely free and open to all, ensuring that everyone has the chance to participate in this vibrant cultural exchange. Come along, bring your energy and curiosity, and join us in celebrating the beauty and warmth of Kurdish traditions. Whether you come to listen, learn, or dance, you’re guaranteed an unforgettable time of culture and community. This class is sponsored by Edinburgh Council, Edinburgh 900.

What Connects You to Edinburgh? Join us for a reflective and creative workshop in celebration of Edinburgh 900, inspired by the mission of Art and Spirituality CIC. This workshop, run by the Art Therapist Silvia Cirronis, invites you to explore your cultural and ethnic heritage while celebrating the rich diversity of the Edinburgh community. A key guiding question will shape our session: What connects you to Edinburgh? What to Bring: A personal object that represents your ethnic or cultural background. A photo of a place in Edinburgh that holds positive meaning for you or makes you feel connected. (Printed versions are ideal, but if that’s not possible, feel free to use a digital photo on your device.) If you'd like, you can also bring any additional materials from home that resonate with your story. What to Expect: We will provide a wide range of materials for you to explore, create, and reflect as a group. Through guided exercises and open sharing, you’ll have the opportunity to deepen your connection to both your personal heritage and the collective identity of Edinburgh. We look forward to welcoming you into this enriching experience of creativity, reflection, and community. This class is sponsored by Edinburgh Council.
