Day 1 - School

At the beginning of the day, participants will learn grammar and then move on to reading and listening activities. The day will end with conversations and talks.

Grammar: Understanding prefixes is essential for language learning. By identifying their roles, it will be easier for students to understand complex sentences.

Reading: The following text gives us a brief background of the education system in Iran - from ancient times to modern days: آموزش و پرورش در ایران

Listening: Schools in Iran also have a long history. Today, we will learn about one of the darkest periods in the country's education system and how people could overcome it: برای زنان ایران زمین | تاریخچه مدارس دخترانه در ایران
