An Evening with laureate Zumretay Arkin
Zumretay Arkin receives a Four Freedoms Award for her efforts in the field of religious freedom. In the evening at 8:00 PM, everyone who wishes can meet her and hear her speak at the Koorkerk.
The laureate will discuss her struggle for the preservation of Uyghur culture, language, and religious freedom. The Uyghurs are an Islamic minority group in China. Furthermore, a young Uyghur who has come to the Netherlands will share his experiences with the attendees. Following this, there will be an interreligious dialogue on questions such as 'do we experience freedom to express faith' and 'does the preservation of religious freedom require our attention?' The program will be enriched with Uyghur music and poetry and is partly interactive.
