ISGP invites all university students to join in

Registrations are now open for the next offering in New Zealand of the seminars for university students by the Institute for Studies in Global Prosperity. The seminars will be held from 11 to 21 December 2020 at the Waihi Academy, Waihi.

Applications for Year 1 are due by 1 October 2021, and registrations for Year 2, Year 3, and Year 4 must be made by 15 October 2021. Early applications and registrations are encouraged and can be submitted through the website: isgp.bahai.org.nz/registration

All Bahá’í university students in New Zealand are encouraged to participate in these seminars. The programme can be seen as a fundamental part of their higher education that assists them to reflect and learn from the action they are taking for the betterment of the world, to assume ownership of their education during the crucial years they spend at university, and to acquire the kind of knowledge that will enable them to live fruitful, productive and meaningful lives.

In addition to study, the seminars provide a space in which students enjoy an atmosphere that is at once serious and joyful, educative and uplifting, dynamic and disciplined. They have the opportunity to learn from their peers, to share their struggles and concerns, and to build and strengthen bonds of unity and friendship that help nourish and recharge their spirits each year.

The Institute for Studies in Global Prosperity (ISGP) is an educational and research organisation founded in 1999 under the guidance of the Universal House of Justice. As part of its efforts, it focuses on raising capacity in university students and young adults to participate constructively in the discourses of society and to contribute at higher levels of sophistication and effectiveness to the betterment of humanity. ISGP offers a sequence of annual seminars designed to accompany undergraduate students through four years of university studies.
