Central Asia Celebrates Nowruz
March 18 @ 2:00pm
Nowruz marks a new day—a time to leave hardship behind and welcome renewal. Join us for a special webinar with Dr. Karim-Aly Kassam, International Professor of Environmental and Indigenous Studies at Cornell University, as he illuminates the cultural and ecological lenses of Nowruz, showing how traditions reflect adaptive knowledge tied to seasonal cycles.
This conversation will also feature CAI Program Manager Zia Sanaban, who will share insights into CAI’s Women’s Entrepreneurship Programs and how participants translate cultural knowledge into meaningful economic impact.
New in 2026: Register now to gain exclusive access to our all-new digital 2026 Nowruz Cookbook, which features traditional dishes prepared for the holiday and treasured Nowruz memories from our in-country partners.
