Austria to pay tribute to Persian language instructors
The first appreciation event for Persian language instructors in Austria will be held on June 20, organized by the Cultural Center of Iran in Austria.
The event will honor both Iranian and non-Iranian Persian language teachers. It will also feature a symposium to explore opportunities for expanding the Persian language in Austria.
Given that Persian is a carrier of rich Iranian-Islamic culture, the role of Persian teachers in promoting this culture is significant.
For several decades, teachers have been instructing Persian in universities, public schools, and institutions, graduating many students. Some of these graduates now work as researchers, translators, or experts in Austrian government and non-governmental organizations.
Additionally, Iranian and Persian-speaking families living in Austria often enroll their children in Persian language classes to maintain their linguistic heritage alongside the local language.
The event will also welcome Austrian Orientalists, Iranologists, and cultural officials who have supported the expansion of the Persian language in Austria.
