Founded in 2017, the association «Embassy of Emesa» sees itself as a gateway to the culture and literature of the Arab world and its related cultures. We believe in the power of cultural exchange and free access to information and education. We invite you to discover and explore the culture(s) of the «Arab world» through our ever-growing library and our regular events and workshops. By providing knowledge and creating a space for exchange between people and their cultures, we want to start a new cultural dialogue in Basel – a dialogue that fosters coexistence, rooted in mutual respect, empathy and interest.
