A global network of Assyrians speaking together digitally, learning our beautiful dialects and keeping our ancient language alive

About this event

Join our circle with a special guest, Rabi Robert Dekelaita. This will be a safe space to discuss his current work and his story.

You are encouraged to come to the circle to participate or listen. You can see his history lessons with the Assyrian Cultural Foundation on YouTube.

All dialects and fluency levels are welcome. Further agenda details will be shared.

Circle Lead: Diana Atureta

The guest will speak Eastern Assyrian (Swadaya // Standard) and translate to English. The Circle Lead will speak modern standard Assyrian (lishana daraya mkhaida) and translate to English. You are encouraged to do the same, to express yourself in Assyrian as much as possible. Use English when you don’t know how to say it in Assyrian and we’ll help you translate.
