Karaz w​ Laimoon (Since 2012!)

Karaz w Laimoon is run by an informal group of friends. For the past few years, we organized around 300  events in various location. With the advent of the Corona virus in early 2020, we depended on online meetings of which we conducted around 130 online events. This website presents our coming events as well as a page (or PDF file) for each of our previous events.

Our topics cover music, literature, cinema, science, medicine and social awareness. Our speakers are experts in their field. More importantly, they are passionate about their subjects so that their talks are interesting without being academic.
