Events

In this section of the Darsoon Yalda Exhibition, we take you to a different world of Yalda celebrations, events, and online workshops; a world designed especially for children and teenagers so that they can both have fun and become pleasantly familiar with Yalda customs and this ancient celebration. For Iranian families living abroad, finding suitable cultural activities has always been a challenge; that is why we have tried to gather a valuable collection of workshops and events that children can participate in with their families from anywhere in the world.

A Story of Light & Kindness

Yalda is not just a long night; it is a story of light and kindness that comes from the heart of Iranian history. These workshops and events help children know this story better, from Yalda traditions to stories that have been told in Iranian homes for years. In many of these programs, children hear short Yalda stories; stories of hope, companionship, and the victory of light over darkness, which are retold to them in a childish and attractive language.

More Than Just a Class

An online Yalda workshop is not just a class; it is an opportunity to build a shared experience between children and parents. In these programs, children learn things that cannot be found in any textbook. Some topics include:

• Yalda-themed craft training
• Poetry reading and storytelling
• Group games and activities
• Making simple Yalda snacks

This variety allows every family to find a program suitable for their child's age and taste.

Living the Culture

One of the beauties of this section is that children become familiar with Iranian culture not just through words, but through experience. When a child reads poetry in a Yalda workshop, when they draw a pomegranate, or when they hear the story of the longest night of the year in a group event, they are actually living their culture and roots. These experiences are more valuable for families outside of Iran because they help keep children's connection with their Iranian identity alive and warm.

Family Events & Expert Guides

Some events are designed for families; meaning children can participate in the Yalda night celebration with their parents. These programs usually include group games, live performances, storytelling, and conversations with experienced instructors. The intimate atmosphere of these workshops makes the real feeling of "Yalda gathering" created even from kilometers away.

In addition to these, we also introduce workshops held by specialized instructors in the field of children and adolescents. These instructors know how to explain Iranian culture to children in simple and understandable language and create an educational experience that is both attractive and lasting.

So if you want your child's Yalda this year to be not just a celebration, but an opportunity for learning, creativity, and knowing Iranian culture, be sure to visit this section of the exhibition. Here you will find a collection of the best workshops, online Yalda workshops, and Yalda events; warm, intimate, and informative programs that help children's Yalda in every part of the world have an Iranian scent and color and become a beautiful memory.
