Flying classroom
The Flying Classroom was a philanthropic art and education project founded by Iranian filmmaker and artist Reza [Bahrami Nejad] through Bahrami Studio in 2011. The initiative combines art, design, and creativity with school-building and renovation projects.
The program involves a team of around ten artists and designers who travel to schools across Iran in different regions and organize two-day workshops for children. These workshops include music, puppetry, handicrafts, mural painting, and other creative activities. At the end of each program, children, with guidance from the artists, design or redesign a part of their school using the artworks they created.
Over the years, a number of Iranian artists and designers have collaborated with The Flying Classroom in leading workshops and co-creating projects with children.
