    AtiNegaar, painting the future

    Today I have learned that AtiNegaar is a word that Iranian people use for future, more precisely for painting the future. For this piece of information I did not travel all the way to Iran but I learned as participating the conference of World Future Studies Federation in Sweden, Trollhättan. What I like in seminars and conferences is that you get connected to people that have shared interest with you. In this conference I have met a lots of interesting people from various parts of the world. I happened to meet also Vahid V. Motlagh and Ali Shammaee from Iran from AtiNegaar Think Thank.  This Iranian think tank is considering also changes in the future from Iranian perspective. Mr Motlagh have also linked my blog to his blog.  Vahid has some interesting ideas and I reccommend to follow his blog.

      Hi Elina,

      It was a very nice meeting for me and Ali too. But I’d like to add that you’d better use just Iranian, not Arabic people in your post. Because we are not Arabs at all. However, you got it right that in Farsi, I mean our native language, we use a term that is translated back into English as painting or drawing the future, for the English terms Foresight or Futures Studies.
