Press Release: Kurdish American Youth Organization (KAYO)

Conference Date: February 10th, 2007
Conference/Celebration Locations: Vanderbilt University & Tennessee State University in Nashville, Tennessee

The Kurdish American Youth Organization will be holding its first official conference at Vanderbilt University followed by a celebration at Tennessee State University in Nashville, Tennessee.

The Kurdish American Youth Organization (KAYO) is dedicated to promoting the Kurdish culture and aims to provide the Kurdish youth with a platform to create stronger alliances and better communication among the youth nation-wide. The conference will be primarily focused on the role of the youth in Kurdish societies and importance of helping improve the situation for the Kurdish people worldwide. The conference will highlight the organization’s strong commitment to preserving the Kurdish culture and the need to increase awareness among Kurds and non-Kurds of the culture and history, and problems facing the Kurdish people in Kurdistan and around the world.

The main goal of KAYO is to represent and serve the interests of the Kurdish youth in North America. Through the conference, KAYO aims to fulfill several of its objectives. Among those is to encourage Kurdish youth to be more involved in their communities and create discussion among the youth addressing the issues facing the Kurdish people on many different levels. The conference will also serve to introduce the Kurdish question to American communities and organizations and to create awareness among the people about the assistance that is needed in order to help the youth in Kurdistan.

This conference will allow KAYO to establish better relations with the Kurdish youth and spread awareness about the organization in order to establish a common ground of work to foster the Kurds’ diverse culture in North America. KAYO wishes to serve as the voice of the Kurdish youth and provide assistance to all young Kurds seeking support in the fields of education, social services, community development and cultural expression.

This conference will be the first of its kind for the Kurdish communities in North America. Many different speakers will be invited to the event addressing a number of topics and sharing their views. The conference will take place on February 10th at 9:00am to 5:00pm.

The conference will be followed by a celebration featuring famous Kurdish singer, Dler. The celebration will begin at 7PM.

All are welcome to attend. We, the Kurdish American Youth Organization, hope you will join us in the very first, but not last, conference and celebration. We look forward to seeing you all.
