Support “Let Ramin Speak First”: Help a Community Tell Its Own Story
After a very difficult year of conflict, economic pressure, and uncertainty in Iran, local communities need hope, visibility, and spaces of life more than ever. For this reason, we are organizing Let Ramin Speak First, a voluntary 5-day community placemaking lab in Ramin, the origin of surfing in Iran, before bringing its story to Placemaking Week Europe 2026 in Wrocław.
From 25 to 29 August, we will work with the local library, surfing club, youth, women, and activists on beach cleaning, improving and painting the surfboard container, providing useful facilities for the library and surfing club, documenting local stories, and preparing Ramin’s own message for Wrocław.
Because national support is not realistically available, we have launched a small crowdfunding campaign. I would be very grateful if you could donate, share, or connect us with people who care about community-led placemaking, coastal communities, youth, women’s participation, and local resilience.
This work is voluntary. This is not charity. It is not a top-down intervention. It is a community-led placemaking journey that begins with the place itself. Placemaking should not only ask what a place needs. It should ask what a place already holds. Please share and collaborate to support Ramin’s local resilience, creativity, and voice:
