What’s wrong with thinking big? What's wrong with having high hopes and being optimistic? What’s wrong with wanting academics as well as activists have a ‘different’ perspective on the issue at hand? What’s wrong with it?
Asking me?
Nothing! What could be possibly wrong with having high hopes and wanting something different? Nothing! Believe me, nothing!
So here I am…thinking BIG: a three year project; year 1: International Essay Contest; year 2: Sirius Project (a project designed and led by students from different disciplines interested in one topic supervised by University Teachers); year 3: adding this project to University Curriculum as an independent course.
Sounds like a plan, doesn't it?
So here we go: YEAR 1: INTERNATIONAL ESSAY CONTEST
But you know each step is paving the path for the others to come; if this year’s project works, then, there is hope for the next year.
…brushing up the first draft with all the comments given by board…a new draft is out…I like this one a lot more than the other…this has been double checked by Francesco over a great cup of coffee, he is an expert after all, both in academic world and in coffee tasting!
It’s time to announce the birth of my adopted child: it’s 15th of January 2011; here is “پاتوق” at Mezrab in East-Amsterdam. The Grand Opening of The Iranian Progressive Youth’s International Essay Contest…come all, come along…
