aboutus
Hikayat Baladi is a Paris-based association founded in 2019 by students at Sciences Po Paris. The association aims to provide an informative and dynamic platform for storytelling by various profiles from respective countries in the South West Asian and North African (SWANA- MENA region) or those who have tangible connections to the diverse region. We strongly believe in the power of storytelling and the knowledge, influence, connections it cultivates. Storytelling takes multiple shapes and forms - art, literature, photography, poetry, lyrics, and more - all of which are welcomed to our platform. Hikayat Baladi is committed to function as a platform whereby all contributors are welcomed to narrate their own stories.
