About:
Centre for Kurdish Progress is an independent and non-partisan organisation inaugurated June 2014. This new organisation provides expert opinions and debates, focusing on the issue of Kurdistan and Kurdish people in the UK as well as internationally.
As a policy forum Kurdish Progress organises: speaker series, panel discussions and social events, in order to progress the position of Kurdish people in the UK and to offer a space for debating Kurdistan’s position in the world. The collaboration with the British Parliament, local and international think tanks and academic institutions frames our core principle of action.
Mission:
The mission of the Centre for Kurdish Progress is very simple: “We want to establish greater significance to the Kurdish question internationally, make society aware of the situation in the region and Diaspora, which has become a historical and intriguing debate. We want future Kurdish generations, to grow up in a society, where they do not neglect their heritage; learn the Kurdish language, and admit once and for all.”
Objectives:
- Improve position of Kurdish People in the UK
- Introduce the Kurdish Question to general society
- Make the debate appeal to the ‘everyday’ person
- Provide a space for debate and maybe find solutions
- Discuss and develop the debate on inner divisions of Kurdistan
- To host forums and panel discussions dealing with topics related to the analysis of the Kurdish question and the wider Kurdistan region (Bakur/North, Bashur/South, Rojhelat/East, Rojava/West).
- To act as a non-party political and non- governmental institution with the aim of providing expert opinion, advice, debate and discussion on Kurdistan, Kurdish People and the Kurdish Question
