For Iranian children worldwide, ages 4–12. A program that connects diaspora kids to their Persian heritage through stories — Shahnameh tales, family memories, original adventures. Combined with simple digital tools for narration + animation.
For little storytellers under 6, this is "let's tell a story together". Teachers read Persian folktales, kids draw what they hear, and we record it as audio + simple slides. A magical bridge to grandparents and culture.
Four warm seasons of story + voice.
For 6–12, real digital storytelling. Storyboards, simple animation with FlipaClip, narration recording with Audacity, putting it all together into 1-3 minute short stories. Many use this to keep their Persian language alive.
Four progressive seasons.
Setareh joined our storyteller class at 7 from Vancouver. Her parents worried she was forgetting her Persian. Through retelling Shahnameh stories with her grandmother by phone, then animating them in class, she fell in love with her language again.
"My daughter now begs to call her grandmother because she's researching the next story. The class changed our family."
A teacher reads a story with your child and helps draw their first character. 90 minutes, free.
Bilingual. We deliberately weave Persian heritage stories in. Many parents tell us their child's Persian improved noticeably.
Short class blocks with lots of off-screen drawing and story-listening homework.
Doesn't matter. The story comes first. Stick-figure storytellers are very welcome.
