UNIVERSAL PARTICIPATION

COLLECTIVE LEARNING
SOUTHWARK COMMUNITY
Bahá'ís in Southwark are inspired by the vision set out in the Bahá'í Holy Writings that humanity is one. We believe that education empowers and builds the spiritual and intellectual capacities in adults, young people and children to enable them to become conscious subjects of their own growth and active participants in the betterment of our communities. This is central to the process of building communities with spiritual, intellectual and practical foundatios.
Through a series of study and discussion groups, participants collectively gain knowledge, insights and skills that equip them to contribute towards community building and advancement of their society.
We are engaged in community building in our neighbourhoods and have regular meetings, events and activities open to everyone from any background, culture or religion. We look for and foster what connects us rather than divides us.
