Who is Wanabqa?
We are a grassroots Syrian youth-led collective dedicated to promoting, preserving, and rethinking Syrian identity through research, cultural advocacy, social change, storytelling, heritage, and inclusive dialogue. Wanabqa is a movement dedicated to situating Syria in a deserved manner within the world's consciousness, as well as unifying Syrians by creating a safe space that celebrates our diversity, fights propaganda, and sparks dialogue.
We are an independent, non-partisan/non-governmentally affiliated collective that takes pride in having a team that reflects Syria's diversity: ideologically, ethnically & religiously. We emphasize being inclusive and respectful of all that makes up our Syria, as we believe there is no one experience of being Syrian. Wanabqa has introduced the world to hundreds of Syrian stories and talents, is followed by a community of over 51,000, and provides free psychosocial support to over 300 Syrians worldwide through our service Dardasheh.
