Reviving the Olive Tree

22 October

On 22 October 2025, Madaniya hosted a symposium titled “The Olive Tree Revival Project,” organised by the Syrian Partnership and Alliance Council in cooperation with the Nordic Countries and with the participation of the Aga Khan Foundation for Development. The event aimed to highlight the significance of the olive tree in Syria’s cultural and economic memory, as well as its symbolic role in fostering stability and peace. Participants discussed potential avenues for collaboration between Syrian organisations, European partners, and the Aga Khan Foundation to rehabilitate Syria’s olive sector and strengthen its role as a key economic resource in supporting recovery and rebuilding livelihoods in rural areas.
