Delegation to Iraqi Kurdistan
Kurdistan: Stories of Struggle
October 9 - 21, 2025
Join us for an insightful delegation to Iraqi Kurdistan, where participants will explore the region’s rich history and the ongoing struggles of its people. Delegates will meet partners affected by cross-border bombings from Turkey and Iran, as well as civil activists and journalists who have faced persecution for their work.
The delegation includes opportunities to meet non-violence training trainers and gain insights into their methods and motivations.
Participants will also visit significant historical sites, such as the sacred Lalish temple of the Yazidi community, and experience the vibrant local culture through a guided tour of the bazaar.
