Events
In 2006 we began developing an agenda of events, placing a particular emphasis on the arts, culture and society of the Arab world. We now have a regular programme of events and activities, including our Arab British Culture and Society Award which celebrates the achievements in this field.
In addition to our own cultural events, we are also able to publicise the events of like-minded organisations working in the field. If you have a suggestion for an event you would like us to publicise, please go to Event Suggestion.
