A group of Kurdish writers visited the Sami region of Sweden as part of the 'Belongings' project, which was prepared in collaboration with the Amed Literature Centre and the Sami House.


Kurdish writers such as Sami Hezil, H.Kovan Baki, Dilawer Zeraq, Zeyneb Yaşsh and Hatice Kamer attended the seminar. There in the cities of Kiruna and Jokkmokk they listened to Sami experts and writers about their culture, language, literature and life of this indiginous people.
