Afghanistan / DATE IDEA

Tea and dried fruit.

Make tea together and choose two types of dried fruit or nuts for a small tasting and a long conversation.

01 / AFGHANISTAN

Go at your own pace.

These ideas introduce you to Afghan flavours, music and art at home. They do not require travel or access to a location in Afghanistan.

02 / HOW TO DO IT

Make tea together and choose two types of dried fruit or nuts for a small tasting and a long conversation.
Ask about nut allergies before choosing.
Make the second round a blind taste test.

No dried fruit? Use fresh fruit and keep the conversation at the heart of it.

01 / Afghanistan

Make bolani at home with two different fillings, and each surprise the other with a small variation.

02 / Afghanistan

Listen to a recording of the rubab and each draw the lines its string sounds bring to mind. Then compare your pictures.

03 / Afghanistan

Browse a museum collection for examples of Afghan miniature art and each draw one small detail on a card.
