Huda K. Søgaard, an Iraqi who has lived in Denmark for years, invites curious Danes to a course on the Iraqi and Arab culture she grew up with. The evening is about everyday customs, family life, hospitality and religion, and the unwritten rules that shape daily interaction.
Expect a look at why something that feels perfectly natural to a Dane can be understood differently by an Iraqi, and the reverse. Huda also stresses that there is no single way of being Iraqi or Arab, and she will talk about the differences between people and communities in Iraq. The aim is not to make everyone alike, but to understand each other a little better. Questions are welcome, including the ones you might usually hold back.
