celebrating and experiencing a diverse range of cultures
Fiwal organises several events of its own to provide a forum for its members. As well as the prestigious Biennial Conference covering current issues, we offer Seasonal Gala fund-raising events, often held jointly with Diplomatic missions.
The Biennial Spring lunch with distinguished speakers is held on alternate years to the Conference.

President’s monthly update
October 2024
Dear FIWAL Friends,
"Of yellow, red, and brown.
To make a nature's carpet
As they come floating down
Leaves are saying soft good-byes
A truly lovely sight.
I see a beauty unsurpassed,
In October's golden light,
Looking out my window"
Beautiful words that remind us of the ultimate nature show we are about to witness as the days get shorter and cooler and we head into the colourful and festive autumnal season.
Join FIWAL in a grand festive extravaganza on 4 December, hosted in their elegant residence by HE, the Ambassador of Türkiye, and his lady wife. Ticket sales open soon.
This month we launch our ‘Getting to Know You’, series. I start the ball rolling with my favourite things below:
When I was young, I wanted to be a Pilot
My favourite movie Sound of Music
My theme song Circle of Life, from Lion King
Warmly wishing you well,
Ameeta
President of FIWAL
