From Silence to the Stage The journey of (Hastiar Rzgar) begins. At just 17 years old, Hastiar Rzgar never imagined he would stand confidently on the stage of his school library. Only a few months ago, he struggled to speak comfortably in front of even a small group. Yet today, with remarkable confidence, he delivered his first seminar to an attentive audience of students. This transformation is the result of his continuous participation in more than ten activities, courses, and seminars within the Penjwen City of Learning programa program that does not merely offer knowledge, but shapes and empowers young people. What Made His Seminar Special? The uniqueness of his seminar lay not only in what he said, but in why he said it. He dedicated the opening of his seminar to honor two fallen heroes: Martyr Biston Abdullah and Martyr Alan Yousif. With deep emotion, he stated: "I am not here today merely to speak about the environment, but to ensure we never forget those who sacrificed their lives to protect this beauty. True environmental guardians never die; they leave an impact that lasts for generations." When Words Become Action The content of his seminar was clear and well-structured. He explained the environmental damage caused by plastic waste and human practices using real examples and evidence. The Nalparez Central Library witnessed a remarkable event; students from local schools listened attentively, and at the end, they expressed sincere appreciation for Hastiar Rzgar's effort. Heartfelt Appreciation Penjwen City of Learning The Penjwen City of Learning program extends special thanks to: The Directorate of Education of Penjwen District The administration and teachers of Nalparez School for providing support and preparing the environment All individuals who believe in the potential of the regions youth Penjwen City of Learning: Where It Began, and Where It Is Heading The Penjwen City of Learning program is not a temporary initiative; it is a transformative effort aimed at shaping young people into capable community leaders. Through diverse activities, courses, and seminars, the program strives not only to educate the regions youth but to empower them as drivers of social change. A Message to Every Young Person The story of Hastiar Rzgar is a vivid reminder that success is not born from circumstances but from effort and perseverance. If you are a young person who doubts your abilities, let this story serve as encouragement: "It is never too late to begin. Even the smallest step can lead to a great journey."
