I am fascinated and at a loss for words by the rediscovery of Iran.
I remember studying Persia and the wars in my high school back in Colombia, but I never heard of that marvellous place again, which lived in my memory like a fantasy tale of history.
Thank you, Maliha, for bringing a piece of memory that enriches our journey to teaching. I couldn't watch the video before your class, but I watched it today, and I spent the following 2 hours googling facts and stories about Iran. Now Iran is in my list of places to visit. Fascinating!!
Jimena, thank you so much for this beautiful and heartfelt reflection. Your words truly moved me. I love how you described Persia as a “fantasy tale of history” that stayed with you, and how rediscovering Iran sparked curiosity, wonder, and a desire to keep learning. Knowing that the video led you to spend hours exploring Iran on your own means a great deal to me. This is exactly the kind of curiosity, connection, and openness we hope to bring into our journey as educators. I’m so glad this experience resonated with you 💙
