______Placemake in Farsi >> Weekends 

Sang-Kāghaz-Gheychi (Rock-Paper-Scissors) is a weekly nature-based art class that runs in Farsi (Persian) language for kids ages 6-12 years old, near High Park. Storytelling and music are woven into our day and the aim is to spark kids’ interest in the rich and song-like Farsi language as a tool to communicate and connect with a wide and diverse group of people, as well as learning new ways to understand, express and communicate their needs and emotions to friends and family members.
