Community Building in the Iranian Diaspora

Community Building in the Iranian Diaspora: Shared Lessons With a Transitional Perspective

How have communities within the Iranian diaspora grown over the past ten years? What lessons can we learn from community-building efforts within the Iranian diaspora? How has youth programming established a sense of community and empowerment for the younger generation? What is the relationship between Iran and members of the Iranian diaspora? Panelists share findings based on their experiences working with communities of the Iranian diaspora, including communities in Europe, North America, Iran, and the United States, in an effort to better understand our present-day diaspora communities and build a stronger future for the Iranian diaspora.
