About
Iranian Cultural Society Manchester was founded in 1984 by a group of Iranian parents in Manchester who had settled in the UK. In order to keep Persian language alive in their children's memory who were attending mainstream English speaking schools Full-Time, parents, some with teaching qualifications, started organising weekend Persian language learning classes. The weekend classes became very popular and soon the Society started receiving interest from non-Persian speaking residents too wanting to learn Farsi.
Now, thanks to our dedicated team of volunteer teachers and support from parents and local government, we are proud to announce that we teach many students from primary age of 6 to adults of all ages who some go on to sit GCSE & A' Level exams in Persian Reading & Writing. Furthermore, we strive to demonstrate the culture, literature and authentic traditions of Iran. To achieve this, we organise cultural programs actively involving pupils perform music pieces, singing, dancing, poetry and stage plays.
