Syriac Heritage Preservation

Syriac Heritage Preservation 

Our Syriac heritage survives mostly in the libraries of some monasteries, certain universities, and leading institutional libraries where books and journals are published and conferences are held. However, our Syriac people can’t join and can’t get all the knowledge about their heritage and their ancestors’ history. They don’t know where the Syriac Heritage resides. It is not being taught to our new generations, nor is it passed down as it was when our communities lived in their ancestral Middle Eastern homelands. 

It's crucial that we preserve and popularize Syriac heritage, disseminating it among the Syriac people and broadening its reach beyond academia and research circles while continuing to support it

Several tools and approaches will be used in the short term and long term to achieve the goals of our organization. It’s important to link all the tools together to get the best results from these tools and create a platform for Syriac Heritage

• Education: Produce educational videos and other media about the Syriac Heritage and its multi-faceted topics.

• Raise awareness of the Syriac heritage by establishing social media channels to reach widest possible audience within the West Syriac diaspora, regardless of where they currently reside. 

• Build a website to host topics and information related to Syriac heritage (the site you are reading now).

• Organize symposiums, conferences, and seminars to present research papers, and presentations covering topics related to West Syriac heritage.

• Publish books and papers about West Syriac heritage topic and initiate research where there gaps in knowledge about the Syriac heritage.

• Start public advocacy by publishing white papers about different aspects of the Syriac heritage and contemporary issues facing the Syriac people in the diaspora.

• Establish a Syriac Heritage research center with a leading educational institution.
