Nineb Lamassu, Executive Director of the Peace Sustainable Foundation, discusses the naming of the foundation's youth cultural centre in Nineveh (Mosul), Iraq, the Qallaita Centre. The centre is named in honour of Qasha Yousip Qallaita, founder of the first Assyrian school in Mosul. Lamassu says he proposed the idea and persuaded the organisation’s central committee to approve the name. The decision reflects respect for Assyrian heritage and aims to preserve cultural history through this centre's activities.
