Our dear friend and mentor Dr. Shernaz Cama writes in…
I write to announce our TISS-Parzor Academic Programme. We are truly grateful for your support and faith in us. We will be glad if you will now help us through your networks to reach out, especially to youth across your organizations. Thank You very much.
Parzor founded under the aegis of UNESCO aims to further knowledge of Parsi Zoroastrian culture & heritage. We have been working with the prestigious Tata Institute of Social Sciences, TISS, Mumbai to take forward our collective knowledge to the world, particularly the younger generation.
We are happy to announce the beginning of the TISS-Parzor Academic Programme on Culture & Heritage Studies, September 2024. For details please visit- Parzor Website: https://www.unescoparzor.com/academicprogramme
For Admissions – TISS Website:
This is the first of its kind Online course on a unique minority – The Parsis. The Parsis are an excellent example of a migrant, minuscule group succeeding against all odds in a multicultural world. Their story is one of resilience and can become inspirational in our world, where thousands of people are finding themselves uprooted from their traditional environment.
This course has something to offer students of diverse disciplines, ranging from sociology and history to literature, environmental science and art. It opens up career options in heritage & cultural management, tourism, media and films, publishing and textiles to name just a few. Since it is an online course, students, no matter where they are based, will get a chance to interact with experts in their fields from across the globe.
There is no age limit; it provides all of us a chance to further our educational growth & knowledge.
For faculty in various institutions, there is a possibility of adding this Course to enrich perspectives in the study of fields including South & Central Asian Studies, demographics, community studies, theatre & film studies, as well as social entrepreneurship and other areas of a holistic education.
Your kind help in sharing this mail with its attachments will definitely attract interest & participation.
Thanks & regards,
Dr. Shernaz Cama
