Overview

In 2025, Yekmal e.V. also organized the annual Newroz Children's and Family Festival as a community diaspora event for Berlin's Kurdish community. Songs, dance, workshops, bazaar, and Kurdish cuisine characterized the day. The festival once again established itself as an important meeting place for Berlin's Kurdish, Afghan, and Persian diaspora — distinct from the large institutional Newroz events, such as at the Humboldt Forum on March 21st. The 2025 edition paved the way for the 2026 event on March 28th at the Spore Initiative.

Yekmal e.V.'s Newroz Children's and Family Festival 2025, like every year, was held as a community spring and New Year festival for Berlin's Kurdish community. Songs, dances, workshops, a bazaar, and shared meals characterized the day. Children from Yekmal's bilingual daycares performed traditional Newroz songs and dances, while workshops, discussion rounds, and a bazaar ran concurrently. The 2025 edition confirmed the festival as the most important community event for Berlin's diaspora and directly led to the 2026 edition on March 28th at the Spore Initiative.
