Made in Iraq Corner

By Aymen Salman

After the demonstrations that stormed Iraq, many popular campaigns were launched to boycott imported products and support local products. The Station participated in this initiative by supporting Iraqi local products in its own way. The Made in Iraq corner has become like a miniature Iraq that showcases products for companies from different regions of Iraq, such as Berhyah, Khzar, Tricot, Zafiruh, Pingo, Elaka, and Asdiqaee magazine. The products of these projects vary from the jewelry of Khzarm, and textile industry such as Tricot, as well as the a number of stickers and brooches from Pingo, knitted crafts from Zafiruh and the manufacture of souvenir medallions with Elaka.

The year ended with a fantastic collaboration with the British Embassy in Baghdad where The Station organized a Christmas Bazaar, where the souvenirs were different from the previous years. Most of the workers from diplomatic delegations in Iraq were invited to the bazaar and purchased their Christmas gifts that were made in Iraq, taking them to their own countries.
