Jes is offering his “Dear Iran Project” presentation throughout the United States to help children, young people, and adults understand, respect, and connect with the citizens of Iran. Audiences of all ages will:
- Learn about Iran’s rich cultural history
- See a video portraying the lives of everyday Iranians
- Reconsider assumptions and beliefs about Iran
- Find out how peace can arise from a widespread cultural shift
- Have an opportunity to reach out to Iranians to show them we care
Our adult presentations will include a discussion about the national interests of Iran and the U.S., and why the political relationship has been strained since the 1950s.
The project is a card writing campaign, established to build respect and understanding between Iranians and Americans.
