On November 24, 2024, in Stockholm, Sweden, a talented Kurdish youth and Vision Education scholarship recipient made history by achieving a Guinness World Record.
The challenge involved memorising and flawlessly recalling a sequence of 30 numbers while juggling a football. Mason Farhad Nariman, a highly skilled Kurdish youth from Mahabad, achieved this extraordinary feat by perfectly reciting the 30-number sequence while keeping the football in motion, setting a new record for the ‘Longest number sequence memorised while juggling a football in 30 seconds.’
Mason Farhad Nariman, 30, currently resides in Sweden and is widely recognised for his remarkable cognitive abilities, including the medically verified capacity to engage both hemispheres of his brain simultaneously. He is currently completing two academic tracks: a Bachelor’s degree in Business and Economics at Stockholm Business School and advanced Statistics courses at Linnaeus University. With his graduation approaching in June 2025, Farhad has already applied to a Master’s program in Finance at the prestigious Stockholm School of Economics.
Sara Salahaddin Mustafa, CEO of Vision Education, commented on the accomplishment, saying: “Achieving this record is a source of pride for all Kurdish people. It was set by a Kurdish youth, demonstrating that Kurdish youth are capable, talented, and able to accomplish remarkable achievements for themselves and their community on an international stage.”
Vision Education remains dedicated to nurturing the ambitions of Kurdish youth by offering opportunities for academic and personal growth. Through a range of initiatives and scholarship programs, Vision Education continues to empower young Kurds to excel and contribute to the development of their homeland.
