Welcoming Little Amal to Her US Tour

Welcoming Little Amal to Her US Tour

Little Amal and Welcoming America are excited to host a webinar to help build a coalition of partners for the upcoming U.S. tour of 35+ cities and towns kicking off during Welcoming Week (September 8-17, 2023). Learn about partner activities both before and during Amal's visit as well as efforts and opportunities for local communities to ensure a lasting impact for refugees and newcomers. 

About Little Amal: Little Amal is the 12-foot puppet of a 10-year-old Syrian refugee child at the heart of The Walk. She has become a global symbol of human rights, especially those of refugees. Since July 2021, Amal has travelled over 9,000 km in 13 countries and been welcomed by more than a million people on the street, including hundreds of artists and civil society and faith leaders, as well as by tens of millions online. Her journeys are festivals of art and hope that draw attention to the huge numbers of children fleeing war, violence and persecution, each with their own story. Her urgent message to the world is “Don’t forget about us”.
