Across Australia young people are participating in an endeavour that strives to give them a voice in today’s society. Through the Junior Youth Spiritual Empowerment Program, these junior youth groups are enhancing their power of expression, sharpening their spiritual perception, analysing the constructive and destructive forces of society and changing their surroundings through the service projects.
In this talk given at the Grand Canyon Baha’i Conference in 2019, Hoda Farahmandpour shares some thoughts on how peace is promoted through Baha’i-inspired educational programs.
