Our Dabka projects over the years
From the parks of Berlin to the streets of Rabat, from refugee camps to local festivals, and youth communities in Italy, Sweden, France, and Spain, Yalla Dabka has been a living bridge between tradition and modern expressions of solidarity. Our long-term and recurring projects continue to bring people together through dance, music, and shared experiences, fostering diversity, resilience, and cultural pride.
