TEHRAN- The Arasbaran Cultural Center in Tehran, with the aim of familiarizing children and adolescents with the national heroes of Iran, is producing "Stories of Our Land Iran" in a visual format, narrating the epic tales of these champions, which will be published across various visual and social media platforms.

In response to the heinous aggression of the Zionist regime against beloved Iran and the martyrdom of numerous civilians, including innocent and defenseless children and teenagers, the Arasbaran Cultural Center condemns this unforgivable crime and has launched a project to create visual stories, directed by Amir Mashhadi Abbas, consisting of 50 episodes. IRNA reported on Friday. 

Children and adolescents, as the future builders of this land, need awareness in the face of foreign invasions and the threats posed by Zionism. Thus, familiarizing this demographic with educational and epic Iranian tales, as well as the stories of fighters and national heroes, will strengthen their spirit of bravery and patriotism, the report added. 

This visual project comprises 50 episodes, each lasting three to five minutes, featuring the epic narration of Iranian heroes by a group of storytelling artists aimed at children and adolescents. These stories will be broadcast on children's programs across various visual networks and other social media platforms.

Parents wishing to provide their children with access to these visual narratives can visit the Arasbaran Cultural Center's Aparat channel and other social media platforms associated with this center and other cultural and artistic organizations of Tehran Municipality.

The launch of the animated series represents a significant cultural initiative aimed at instilling a sense of national pride and historical awareness in the younger generation of Iranians. This project comes at a time when tensions in the region are high, particularly due to ongoing Israeli strikes on Iran. By focusing on the stories of national heroes, the series seeks to provide children and adolescents with relatable figures who embody courage, resilience, and patriotism.

Historically, Iran has a rich tapestry of heroic tales that span centuries, featuring figures from mythology, literature, and real-life events that have shaped the nation s identity. These stories often serve as moral lessons and sources of inspiration, encouraging values such as bravery, sacrifice, and loyalty to one s homeland. In the context of contemporary challenges, such narratives can play a crucial role in fostering a collective memory that emphasizes unity and strength in the face of adversity.

Moreover, the choice to utilize animated storytelling is particularly effective for engaging younger audiences. Animation has the power to captivate children s imaginations and make complex historical narratives more accessible and entertaining. By leveraging modern media platforms, the Arasbaran Cultural Center not only reaches a wider audience but also adapts traditional storytelling methods to fit contemporary consumption habits.

As this series unfolds, it will likely contribute to a broader cultural discourse within Iran, encouraging families to explore their heritage while reinforcing a shared sense of identity among young Iranians during challenging times.
