Centre for Kurdish Progress
Kurdish Progress is an independent and non-partisan organisation inaugurated in June 2014.
This organisation provides expert opinions and debates, focusing on the issue of Kurdistan and Kurdish people in the UK as well as internationally.
As a policy forum Kurdish Progress organises speaker series, panel discussions and social events in order to progress the position of Kurdish people in the UK and to offer a space for debating Kurdistan’s position in the world. Collaboration with the British Parliament, local and international think tanks and academic institutions frames our core principle of action.
