Additional details

Our theme for January is کورسو — the Farsi word Koor·Soo, meaning “a faint glimmer of hope.”

It was chosen by our Tehran chapter in Iran and illustrated by Hoda Ramy.

What this word means to our Tehran chapter:

“In our darkest hours, when everything seems to have dimmed, sometimes a light remains—not bright, not certain, but real. That is Koorsoo—a faint glimmer of hope that dares to survive.

Koorsoo is not about triumph or clarity; it is about the fragile yet unwavering light that keeps us going. A glance, a memory, a word—small things that prevent collapse. It represents the quiet resilience of those who continue in spite of the weight, who believe without guarantee. In a world that often normalizes despair, Koorsoo is a rebellion—soft, but profound.

It reminds us: even the smallest spark matters.”

Meet us in an exciting venue for the first time, exploring spaces and places that could spark new communities tagging along.

January 23rd we meet in UBC0 / Czech In Iulius Town Timisoara by Staropramen at our classical time - 07.30 AM.

Bring friends and good vibes to start this year right!
