About Us

Karvan is a network of Iranian-Canadian (and Farsi-speaking) students with interest in Islamic faith, tradition and civilization from campuses in Canada. Karvan aims to provide students as well as the broader community services integral to student lifestyle, maintaining traditions and professional growth. Building on the Quranic concept of Shafaqat (friendship), in Karvan, members strongly care about each other; they are environmentally friendly and they recognize the importance of spirituality in their lives. Through medium such as movie nights, book-reading circles, couch surfing, religious and national events, scientific exchange and networking students foster dialogue and friendship in order to speak vocally about differences and identify similarities in order to move towards a pluralistic, yet vibrant and unified community. KARVAN is a cultural/identity, social, and spiritual club.
