Teaching through Arts

Inspired by the message of the Universal House of Justice, the National Bahá'í Youth Committee took the initiative of applying the method of teaching the cause through the potent and effective medium of arts and drama. In this connection, trainee courses have been held to train the youth for the above purpose, beginning with a course at the Bahá'í Academy, Panchgani, subsequently followed by courses at Lucknow and Panchgani, Chandigarh, Indore, etc. Many youth took the initiative to give services ranging from a month to a year. One of the groups was named Bahá'í Youth Arts Group for Communal Harmony, as the Bahá'í youth felt that this is the critical need for diverse nations such as India. The members of this group highlighted the Bahá'í teachings on love and unity through music, dance and drama as they travelled through out the country.

The Bahá'í Youth Conferences are held yearly at different venues.

This Youth Conferences are not only a platform for Bahá'í youth to interact and make friends but more significantly these provide a forum for them to create a collective vision and understanding of their great role in the months, which lie ahead.
