Learning Circle: History & Culture of Afghanistan Online
Since the fall of Kabul in 2021, Spokane has welcomed a new wave of immigrants from Afghanistan. Many of them assisted the US military during the 20-year US-Afghan war. During this learning circle, we study the culture and history of our Afghan neighbors using free online materials. Once a week, we meet online for a group discussion, facilitated by a librarian who is a fellow learner. An optional in-person field trip is planned to deepen our understanding of the immigrant Afghan community in Spokane.
In collaboration with International Rescue Committee
Registration is required. Registrants receive an email with course instructions and links.
