A youth-led coalition from
various backgrounds have come together to form this
year’s event coordinating committee. This group of
young Kurdish men and women are determined to make
the third Kurdish youth festival an enriching
experience with a profoundly positive impact on the
attendees.
The festival will feature scholarships, meet and
greet opportunities, educational panels, discussion
groups, and interactive workshops. All this is in
addition to the festivals most talked about
signature events: “Kurds Got Talent,” visual art
competitions,www.ekurd.netand
a celebration finale complete with live music and
traditional dance. As in previous years, notable
figures, authors, human rights activists, NGO
leaders, and International artists are expected to
be in attendance. This event will also provide a
chance for sponsors and scholars from across the
globe to make a lasting network with active
Kurdish-American youth.
In an interview during the last Kurdish youth
festival, a first time attendee said: “I walked into
the hotel lobby in Dallas and heard a group of young
guys and girls speaking Kurdish. I had to pinch
myself a few times to make sure I wasn’t dreaming. I
felt more at “home” during those three days than any
other time and have made friendships that will last
a lifetime. I encourage everyone to come to next
year’s festival.”
Established to showcase, promote, and raise
awareness about Kurdish culture, the festival aims
to cultivate the talents and abilities of young
Kurds in the United States while encouraging
community participation. Today, it also serves as an
annual reunion for old friends and a perfect
platform for new connections.
The third annual Kurdish Youth Festival is in the
planning stages, and final programming will be
released in the following months.
