Our language, names and songs are shaped by elements of the natural landscape - like our rivers, lakes and mountains. Which rivers, which lakes and which mountains do we know?  

 

How were Lake Urmiye and Lake Van formed? Who and what lives in and around Lake Urmiye and Lake Van? Together with Ayhan Urmiye and the Piya kindergarten of Yekmal e.V., we want to discover the lakes, rivers and mountains of Kurdistan in Kurdish.
