Kurdistan Colouring Book tours British schools

October 2024

During October 2024, Mariwan Jalal visited Kurdish schools in the UK with the Kurdistan Colouring Book produced by Gulan.

This second edition of the colouring book for children focusses on the work of Kurdish artists. Each spread features an image of the artwork and a line drawing for children to colour, together with information about the artist in Kurdish and English.

The schools visited include the KAWA Kurdish School in Cardiff, Kurdistan Supplementary School in Croydon, Dayk Kurdish School in Sheffield, Nishtiman Kurdish School in Manchester, Nottingham Kurdish School and Portsmouth Children’s Kurdish School.

The Colouring Book was conceived by Gulan’s Artistic Director Della Murad and artist Mariwan Jalal and produced by Richard Wilding.

The printing of the Kurdistan Colouring Book has been generously supported by the Kurdistan Region Representation in the UK.
