Iran Storytelling Project

The Iran Storytelling Project is a non-profit organization based in New York, New York. The organization employs 77 people and has reported $0.5 million in annual revenue. The Iran Storytelling Project focuses on fostering cultural understanding through the power of storytelling. They aim to bridge the gap between the United States and Iran by bringing American storytellers to Iran to share their personal experiences in intimate settings. The project also involves documenting the stories of ordinary Iranians through video footage, culminating in a film that aims to showcase the human side of Iranian culture to a Western audience. The Iran Storytelling Project differentiates itself through its unique approach to diplomacy and cultural exchange. By emphasizing personal narratives and human connection, they hope to promote empathy and understanding between two nations often portrayed in conflict.
