Children and Adolescents Office
The country of Iran has a rich culture with a deep and historical background, the protection of which, in addition to government organizations and institutions, is a burden on the shoulders of each and every Iranian. Culture is not a word but a precious treasure that has been inherited from the past generations. According to demographic statistics, Iran is a young country, and a young country can take advantage of its potential capital, i.e., children, to achieve its goals. In this regard, Golestan Palace decided to establish an office for this purpose during negotiations with child experts in February 2011, so that it can make appropriate plans for children and adolescents. Finally, in March 2011, in a meeting held by experts and professors of various fields of children and education, such as puppet shows and children's book council, the establishment of Children and Adolescents Office was approved and it officially started its work.
