Events live in fragments.
Community listings often spread across social posts, messages, and separate calendars.

Core valueCommunity discovery
With human-reviewed listings
Project value
Make local Persian events easy to find and safe to publish.
What the design needed to achieve
- ✓
Offer the same event guide in English and Persian.
- ✓
Make search, calendar, and past events easy to reach.
- ✓
Review community submissions before publication.
Open listings lose trust.
Unreviewed submissions can publish incomplete, duplicate, or unsuitable event details.
Curate a direct guide.
Lead with event discovery and keep human review in the submission path.
Design decisions
Support discovery even when the event list changes.
01Lead with search
Direct discovery
The page asks what is on and places event search before deeper browsing.
Intended impact
Help visitors act on a date, name, or interest without scanning every listing.
02Keep both languages complete
Shared access
English and Persian routes share events, calendar access, empty states, and submission actions.
Intended impact
Serve a bilingual community without making one language secondary.
03Design the gap between event batches
Useful empty state
When no upcoming batch is live, the page explains the state and offers past events instead of a blank list.
Intended impact
Keep the guide useful between publishing cycles.
04Review every submission
Curated quality
Hosts can submit an event for free. A person reviews it before it goes live.
Intended impact
Grow the guide while protecting listing quality.
