About the Event

A historic first for the Syrian community in British Columbia.

For the first time, Syrian youth, influential Syrian voices, and organizations from across BC and Canada are coming together to connect, share experiences, and imagine the future of Syria and its diaspora.

Through networking, a hands-on workshop, open discussion, and a stand-up session with Bisher Najjar (Aljahbaz), this event creates space to strengthen community connections, exchange diverse perspectives, and explore what we can build together. It is an opportunity to bring a generation of Syrian youth together to support Syria's recovery and future.

This gathering marks the beginning of a long-term effort to strengthen community ties, encourage collaboration, and inspire the next generation of Syrian leaders and changemakers in British Columbia and around the world.
