Expanding Assyrian Appreciation: Uniting Across Borders and Beliefs
By: Onita Narso
In today’s interconnected world, where borders blur and cultures intertwine, celebrating and preserving our heritage is more crucial than ever. The Assyrian legacy—rich in history, tradition, and resilience—demands recognition, active engagement, and unity. Our mission is to bridge divides within our community and the global stage by expanding Assyrian appreciation and fostering collaboration across all Assyrian, Chaldean, and Syriac groups.
Why Expand Assyrian Appreciation?
The Assyrian people have faced countless challenges throughout history, yet our spirit and traditions have endured. In a time when cultural identities are celebrated and challenged, elevating and unifying our narrative is vital. By expanding Assyrian appreciation, we aim to:
1. Celebrate Our Heritage: We want to showcase the beauty and depth of Assyrian culture, history, and traditions. Our goal is to create compelling content that highlights our unique contributions to the global mosaic.
2. Foster Unity: The Assyrian community is diverse, encompassing various denominations and groups, including Assyrians, Chaldeans, and Syriacs. By working together, we can harness our collective strength and celebrate our shared heritage while honoring our distinct traditions.
3. Bridge Cultural Gaps: By educating others about our rich history and vibrant culture, we aim to foster mutual respect and understanding with other communities. This helps to build a harmonious global society where cultural diversity is embraced.
Our Commitment to Collaboration
Our vision involves not just expanding appreciation but actively collaborating with all organizations and individuals within our diverse community. We are dedicated to:
Engaging All Groups: We seek to include every Assyrian, Chaldean, and Syriac denomination in our efforts. Regardless of different beliefs or practices, our shared heritage provides a common ground to build upon.
Partnering with Organizations: We aim to work with a broad spectrum of organizations dedicated to preserving and promoting Assyrian culture. By uniting our efforts, we can amplify our impact and reach a wider audience.
Empowering Youth: The future of our community lies in the hands of the next generation. We are committed to empowering young Assyrians, Chaldeans, and Syriacs by providing platforms for them to voice their perspectives and contribute to our collective narrative.
