About Assyrian Cultural & Social Youth Association Inc.

The Assyrian Cultural & Social Youth Association Inc. (ACSYA Inc.) is an independent nonprofit organization in Australia dedicated to the conservation and protection of Indigenous Assyrian culture. Headquartered in Sydney with activity across multiple cities, the association develops research, publications, and campaigns that deepen public understanding of Assyrian history, heritage, and contemporary challenges. Through exhibitions, seminars, training sessions, webinars, and workshops, ACSYA Inc. creates accessible educational spaces where Assyrians and the wider Australian public can engage with Assyrian art, language, archaeology, and lived experience. The organization also commemorates key dates such as Martyrs Day and supports initiatives that document genocide, displacement, and cultural loss, framing remembrance as a pathway toward justice and accountability. Guided by a multidisciplinary leadership team spanning law, archaeology, IT, cultural heritage, and community engagement, ACSYA Inc. works to build partnerships, drive volunteerism, and encourage participation at every level of communal life. By combining professional research with grassroots organizing, the association aims to safeguard Assyrian cultural heritage for future generations while empowering Assyrians to see themselves as stewards of a living, resilient civilization.
