Dear all,
I hope this message finds you as well as possible during these incredibly difficult times.
The UTIRAN team is preparing to reach out to university officials to request special considerations for Iranian students at the University of Toronto.
To do this effectively, we need your input. If you feel comfortable, please email info@utiran.org with any information about your current status or circumstances that you believe may help us present a stronger case on behalf of the community.
May our country and our loved ones soon see peace and freedom.
In the meantime, we will do our best to organize events and create spaces for connection, in the hopes that community may bring even a small sense of relief.
Warm regards,
Shayan
President, on behalf of the UTIRAN Board of Directors

🕯 In light of the ongoing violence and devastation in our beloved Iran, we invite you to gather with us for an evening to carry our sorrow and love.
A moment to gather the pieces of our hearts, to write what cannot be said, to paint what is deeply felt.
Hamdeli Evenings is a quiet space to create, reflect, and express what we carry. For Iran, and for one another.
In this first event, we want to catch up with people and chat a bit, maybe paint something on small canvasses, and bond through listening and singing to some music.
🗓 Monday, June 23rd
🕰 6:00 to 9:00 p.m.
📍 Queen’s Park
💡We kindly advise attendees to bring their own mat or blanket to sit on. 💡No registration is needed. Everyone is welcome.
