Future Zoroastrians: Leadership Programme for Emerging Mobeds

The programme includes a one-week intensive residential course at SOAS in London, taking place from 26 to 30 April 2027. Convened by Dr Mariano Errichiello (Shapoorji Pallonji Senior Lecturer at SOAS), the course will be delivered by Dr Arash Zeini (MANTRAMS Project Research Fellow, University of Oxford), Dr Ruzbeh Hodiwala (Research Assistant, SOAS) as well as Freya Birdie (professional coach) who will lead the programme’s leadership stream. 

All selected participants will have travel and accommodation fully funded, thanks to the generous support of Dr Zar Amrolia, whose commitment to nurturing future generations of Zoroastrian leaders we gratefully acknowledge. Please read the terms and conditions on this page, and the policies listed in the 'Diversity, Equality and Inclusion' section of the SOAS Policies and procedures page.
