Qooyama

Qooyama Qooyama is the young adult committee of the AAASJ uniting the next generation of Assyrians through cultural & social events. Calling all young Assyrians!

Qooyama is the new young adult committee of the Assyrian American Association of San Jose (Shotapoota). The word "Qooyama" meaning a rising up and awakening, was chosen to name the youth committee as a constant reminder of our group's goal. To awaken the next generation of Assyrians and revive our culture. San Jose has an incredibly diverse Assyrian community boasting many political parties and re

ligious institutions. Qooyama is a neutral social organization that celebrates our diversity while uniting youth under one Assyrian name. Qooyama aims to unite the next generation of Assyrians through social and cultural events. Like our page for more info and we hope to see you at our next event!
