What moves us – voices, ideas, and stories from the movement for Kurdish language, science, and education.
Digitalization of the Kurdish Language – A Shared Responsibility
On April 25 and 26, 2025, the conference on the digitalization of the Kurdish language will take place at the Kulturhaus Dresden – organized by our cooperation partner, the German-Kurdish Forum (DKF e.V.).
Every new beginning starts with a spark.
Newroz makes hearts beat faster. Kurds around the world celebrate the Kurdish New Year and spring festival: a symbol of hope, new beginnings and freedom. Music, dance and encounters fill the streets and squares, wherever there is a sense of community. For us at ikuas e.V., Newroz is more than just a festival. It is an expression of vitality, cultural strength and the desire for change. It reminds us to be courageous, to create spaces and to open up perspectives. In every song, in every movement, there is the dream of a life in dignity. Newroz Pîroz Be!
The foundation of our movement begins with courage!
It was the beginning of our movement. We founded ikuas e.V. in Dresden: the International Kurdish Union for Academia and Scholarships. Eight people with a common vision, driven by the desire to make education, language and Kurdish identity visible. We want to create spaces that were previously lacking for young Kurds, who are often caught between their origins and their future. More than an association is growing out of this foundation: a movement that strengthens, connects and changes. Our goal: the first international Kurdish university in Germany.
