Sweden Kurdish magazine aims to promote Kurdish literature
A+ A- ERBIL, Kurdistan Region - A Kurdish children's magazine has been working in Sweden and publishing monthly content in the Sorani and Kurmanji dialects, with plans to include additional dialects to promote linguistic diversity and Kurdish literature among children. The Kurdish children's magazine Hano has been launched in Sweden by 49 Books, publishing monthly content in Kurdish. It publishes monthly content in Sorani and Kurmanji, with future plans to include Zazaki, Hawrami, Kalahari, Laki, Lori, and Gorani dialects. "It has been more than a year and a half since work has been done on this project and its foundation has been laid,' Dilsa Yusuf, editor-in-chief of Hano's Kurmanji section, told Rudaw on Wednesday. The magazine's goals include creating a broad literary network by connecting with writers from the Kurdish regions of Iraq, Iran, Syria, and Turkey, as well as the diaspora, to publish Kurdish children's literature in all dialects. 'We want to create a network... so that all those people who write children's literature among Kurds can take their place in Hano magazine with their works,' Yusuf added. Finding writers, designers, and illustrators for children's magazines remains a challenge among Kurds, but despite the difficulties, the effort has led to a successful outcome, according to Yusuf. 'Distinguished teachers can use the magazine as educational material for their students," she said. The editorial team of Hano magazine has issued a call for contributions from both adults and children, encouraging them to submit poems, stories, folk tales, proverbs, interviews with talented children, language exercises, and translations. 'We call on all of you (adults and children) to send us your topics,' the team stated, highlighting their commitment to enriching Kurdish children's literature and education.
