About our Indigenous Peoples of the Middle East Lecture Series

Ryan was engaging and extremely knowledgable, the kids really enjoyed his presentation. He was easily one of their favourite speakers and they have asked if he will come back. The presentation was extremely informative and interesting.

About our Indigenous Exchange Program to Israel September 2019 for Komciwan, the largest Kurdish Youth Group in the Diaspora (located in Germany)

Indigenous Bridges gave us insight into Israel that we would not otherwise have had.

We had a very interesting program with important figures in Israel.

The bridge building between Kurdistan and Israel was successful! Sertaç

The journey was both entertaining and informative. We were granted insights that would not be possible without Indigenous Bridges.

Thanks for the lovely time in Israel.
