Presentation of the Project : History of Badrood through its Ethnic Dolls
The first goal of this project was to restablish the dialogue between generations and we started to research the name of the first villagers for about 80 years ago, in different professional activities. All our dolls have now an Identity Card,so young people can remember their names and be pround of their ancestors.More than 150 dolls are replaced in their own location (home, workshop or market) and this in 34 locations. Dr. Rahgoshay Museum decided at the occasion of the celebration of Norooz 1395, the new Iranian Year 2016.to take a first step to promote an active interaction with people from foreign cultures by sending them ,all over the world, a couple of our traditional dolls with warmest greetings. Those will be its Ambassadors of Peace and Friendship.We hope that these messengers coming from the past will be conducive to dialogue, non-violence and to the rapprochement of cultures and will help all of us to learn building new paths to a better future and a sustainable peace.This project is focused on generating income. Rural women , in particular, face major barriers to access productive resources, disadvantages and exclusions, associated with gender roles. We have to find priorities for the development of women social recognition and the improvement of rural women livelihoods and general well-being.This shows how improved conditions of women in rural areas can help to achieve all development goals.
