ADIL OMAR

Meet Adil, son of refugee parents from Somalia and Iraq. Adil’s lived experiences during his childhood years in Dubai and his student years in Amsterdam have taught him the importance of culture and compassion in all walks of life.

Adil is a role model for young people, and accompanies Monica in her storytelling in schools. Knowing the world young people are negotiating today, Adil speaks to them in their own language and guides them through storytelling.

Adil's special way of working is through The Spoken Word - using visuals and sound to bring to life the stories which need to be heard by all, experiences from his own life and the lived experiences of other historical survivors, ancestors who overcame adversity and who enriched the lives of others during their lifetime, and whose stories still enrich the lives of others today.
