Jesus College's Cambridge Central Asia Forum (CCAF), in partnership with GCRF Compass at the Centre of Development Studies and the Tajikistan Embassy, are delighted to invite you to their annual Navroz (Central Asian New Year) celebration.

Get ready for an afternoon of Central Asian poetry, dance and music to welcome spring!

Jesus College Fellow and CCAF director, Dr Siddharth Saxena, says: "We have been celebrating Central Asian New Year in Cambridge snce 2005. Navroz transcends religious, ethnic, linguistic, and national divisions and brings people together. It showcases the region's rich tradition and mythology, a once in a lifetime experience. Above all else, it is an occasion for celebration – everyone is welcome."
