University of Canterbury Iranian Society

University of Canterbury Iranian Society (UCIS) is dedicated to introducing and promoting Persian/Iranian Art and Culture to the Iranian community as well as to the other communities.

We have regular monthly events like:
- SafaCity (music and dance night)
- Cinema Club (screening Iranian movies)
- Adineh (poetry night).

In addition, we celebrate Persian/Iranian feasts such as:
- Nowruz – Iranian New Year (the first day of spring in the Northern hemisphere)
- Yalda night (the longest night of the year in the Northern hemisphere)
- Chahar Shanbe Suri (Eve of the last Wednesday before Nowruz).
