Conference showcases Turkish delights

A CONFERENCE celebrating the educational and cultural achievements of Turkish, Kurdish and Turkish Cypriot communities is to be staged in Islington next month.

Lib Dem education chief Councillor Ursula Woolley said: “I am pleased we are hosting this conference in Islington, where Turkish, Kurdish and Turkish Cypriot communities make such a positive contribution in so many areas.”
The conference will include a discussion on the development of cultural identity and how ethnic minorities find common ground.
It will conclude with a traditional dance by Cem Evi group, followed by tea, Turkish Delight and pastries.
Organised by Islington Council’s ethnic minority achievement service, the conference starts at 9am on December 5 at Barnsbury Centre, in Offord Road.
