Services
01
SEED Create
At SEED Create, we work closely with children, families, educators, and community advocates to identify real educational needs and co-design practical, locally rooted solutions. Through a community-led design approach, we develop tools, workshops, and services that communities can own and sustain. Boom and TooTak are two key projects that grew from SEED Create, shaped and supported by families, educators, librarians, and reading advocates. .

SEED Learn
SEED Learn aims to equip children and youth with the creative and critical thinking methods needed to tackle challenges they face on their learning journey. We collaborate with Iranian and Afghan educators, innovators, and scientists to design workshops and learning experiences that introduce participants to new ways of thinking, problem-solving, and innovating. We design each workshop whether a single session or a series to meet the community's unique needs, resources, and priorities. All programs draw from inclusive design principles, planet-centered design, and systems thinking
03
SEED Engage
SEED Engage brings Iranian community members, artists, educators, and activists together to celebrate cultural heritage and engage in dialogue about building strong diasporic communities and keeping children connected to their roots. One of SEED’s annual initiatives is the Willowdale Nowruz Celebration, which SEED co-hosts to bring together thousands of Iranian and non-Iranian families and Toronto residents. The event celebrates Nowruz through art, language, and cultural expression from Iran, fostering connection, belonging, and cross-cultural exchange.
