Learn about Afghan culture and history through the New Neighbor Series Afghanistan

The International Communities Liaison Division will present the New Neighbor Series: Afghanistan on Tuesday, April 18, 2023 from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m. in the Neighborhood and Community Services Department at 707 E. Main Avenue.

BOWLING GREEN, Ky. - This is the final opportunity to hear from the City's Afghan Community Navigator and learn more about the history, origin, culture, demographics, and traditions of our newest Afghan neighbors with more than 500 Afghan men, women, and children have been through resettlement in Bowling Green since 2021.  This session is a repetition from a session offered last May and this past January.

The New Neighbor Series is an educational session for City staff and the community at large to learn about the history, cultural traditions, foods, dances, and more from specific cultural groups represented in the city of Bowling Green. The New Neighbor Series is generally held once per year.

The International Communities Liaison Division (ICL) works closely with the respective ethnic and cultural communities to develop the educational session, providing guidance and support. Promotion and advertising for each New Neighbor Series is conducted by the ICL, but each community has the creative freedom to develop its own educational session.

This session is free and open to the general public. Registration is limited to the first 50 participants and must register at: https://forms.gle/2LyVQTVtoMc3zXAW6
