BAG celebrates একুশে ফেব্রুয়ারী and International Mother Language Day in a unique way where you can read books, display your own books or exchange with others. You can stand up in an 'extempore speech corner' to speak out your thoughts and share with a panel of senior citizens. Children will be told a brief history of 1952. You will also enjoy short films at the end of the show. BAG creates an environment for intellectuals, readers, listeners and film lovers in this special 100 years old Edwardian Library. Please come and encourage others with your presence. (Leaflet attached)

Bangladesh Association Glasgow was part of this artists' conversation for the last 5 days. It was a glorious opportunity for Scot-Bangladeshis to present their stories and present Bangladesh on a positive colour. It was also a time to learn about other cultures, hear their stories. It was fascinating! It was wonderful to make new friends from all over the world! Thank you NTS again for choosing #BAG as the group to represent Glasgow and in the process recognising the contribution of Scot-Bangladeshis have been making to Scotland for years #NTSHomeaway

Covers of some magazines published by Bangladesh Association during late 80's and early 90's. We will be adding the contents of each magazine slowly onto our website as soon as they are scanned and ready to upload. We hope you will enjoy those old and authentic articles written by some of our senior fellow Bangladeshis who lived in Scotland in those early days.
