our projects:
1) The Little Writer Project: An literary project that focuses on collecting stories written by children who are sick, disabled, or homeless, and translating them into various languages. Some of these stories were published in a book, including those written by children from Syrian refugee camps on the Turkish border. This project was carried out in collaboration with the association working with these children in 2015. The book was printed with the assistance of the Austrian Pen Club, and the proceeds from the book will be returned to the children and used for developmental projects benefiting children in devastated countries.
2)Arab and Handicrafts Bazaar: A bazaar organized in Vienna to showcase and sell Arab products and handicrafts, with the aim of supporting integration and encouraging craftsmanship. This activity was initiated in 2019.
3) The Exiled Writer Project: This project aimed to highlight Arab community members interested in literature and residing in Austria. It produced a collection of stories in German titled "Searching for Home," with the support of the Pen Club and the administration of the 22nd district in Vienna. The book was published in 2020.
4) Theatrical performance for children with special needs, immigrant children, and children from impoverished neighborhoods in Cairo. After three months of training these children in self-building skills and developing their psychological, social, and intellectual abilities, the performance took place at the Opera House under the patronage of President Abdel Fattah el-Sisi in September 2022.
5) Currently, we are working on organizing a festival for European-Arab and Middle Eastern cinema, aiming to strengthen relationships and break barriers between the East and the West at the level of countries and peoples. Additionally, training courses in the art of filmmaking will be offered to Austrian and Arab immigrant youth on the sidelines of the festival.
6) Spring Entertainment Festival in Vienna 2023: This festival has presented a variety of artistic and entertainment activities from different countries, promoting integration and collaborative work.
7) East-West Cultural Exchange Project: A project aimed at establishing a public Arabic library in Austria to stimulate the translation of literary works, conduct competitions for novel writing, short stories, and children's stories, and focus on theater, music, and art activities, as well as literary and intellectual readings, theatrical and musical performances. The project aims to preserve the Arabic language, support integration, and present our Arab community in the best way.
