Creative Mornings: January is KOORSOO

A lecture series for the creative community
January 30th, 08:30 – 10:00 AM @ Dokhuis 
With Dewi Reijs

/ This event is hosted & presented in English /

Join us for another creative breakfast!
Breakfast starts at 8:30 AM with a little networking, followed by an intimate and personal talk from a selected creative from this city. This months it's Dewi Reijs.

The global theme for January is KOORSOO.  It was chosen by the Creative Mornings Tehran chapter in Iran and illustrated by Hoda Ramy.
 
 کورسو or Koorsoo (pronounced Koor·Soo) is a Farsi word meaning “a glimmer of hope.” The Tehran chapter had this to say about its significance: “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.” As a new year begins, ask yourself, “What is giving me hope right now?” It’s up to each of us to keep that little light shining. Protect it and hold it dear. But be careful not to smother it. Share your koorsoo with the people around you. Because the world needs all the hope it can get. 

Speaker this month is Dewi Reijs, founder of the Buddy Film Foundation, an entry platform for refugee filmmakers, actors, and crew, and is committed to inclusive film storytelling.
