Azerbaijan: Kanelbulle Day Celebration with Autistic Children

Cinnamon buns

This activity is organised by Sweden Students & Alumni Network Azerbaijan and is open invited guests.

Our major purpose is to highlight SDG 16, Social Inclusiveness by coming together with autistic children, cooking Kanelbulle, playing games, having fika, simultaneously promoting Swedish clunaria and culture.

We expect creating an awareness in our country by involving particularly this group of people and show that how it is possible and fun to spend a quality time with them. Within the context of Social Inclusiveness this event will prove that we might only have barriers in our mindset, not in giving space to these people and do certain activities.

Director or deputy of Dost Agency
Director of the place will host us – Joint and Healthy Public Union
