SPOTLiGHT values - United nations youth Project - A look at what makes us shine Experiment with Values and Exchange Experiences A unique, multimedia initiative for young adults dedicated to the 4 United Nations International days of: Peace, Non-violence, Tolerance, and Human Rights. "In the interest of seeding real change in the world, the Brahma Kumaris World Spiritual University (BKWSU) is engaging in a season of experimentation with values, in the hope that it will lead to new kinds of action & change in the world" Join us on an exciting, experiential journey of experimenting with values September 2010 thru December 2010 Why: In the interest of seeding real change in the world, the Brahma Kumaris World Spiritual University (BKWSU) is proposing a season of experimentation and learning, which might lead to new kinds of action. All real change -- big changes in the world and small changes in a single life -- occur as a sequence of inner shifts, beginning with a change in awareness. A change in awareness precipitates a change in attitude; one's attitude colors one's vision; when we see the world in a new way, we can no longer take the same action we would have taken before; New actions generate a new world! As we change, the world changes. What: During the months of Sept- Dec 2010 we are issuing an invitation to thoughtful young adults and young leaders globally to participate with us in a season of experiments, beginning in September and concluding in December, 2009. The experiment has three steps: (1) Use your own spiritual practice to cultivate an inner awareness of peace [non-violence/tolerance/dignity]. You can do this practice at some time each day. It can be morning, evening, or while you are in action in the world. Relate and express your experience through any form of multimedia (photography, video, poetry, writings, painting, drawing etc). You can be as creative as you like! (2) Notice what experiences of peace [non-violence/tolerance/dignity] begin to emerge from inside of you and manifest around you. Make a note in a journal of these experiences each day. (3) Share your experience piece of your daily practice and your subsequent observations once a week -- sometime over each weekend. In sharing the story of your observations, we will be especially interested in whether you notice a change in awareness, attitude, vision, and action. We would like you to share your observations of your practice and resulting inner and outer changes. We will collect the work of the submitted pieces (artwork, journaling, ect). Over time we will analyze the results to see if conscious spiritual experiments with these truths (peace, non-violence, tolerance and dignity) lead to a tangible change in awareness, attitude, vision, and action. We will exchange experiences of photography, videos, visual arts, journaling etc submitted by participants on our interactive blog. *This initiative will conclude with a gallery exhibit in New York City displaying the work of the participants. Who for: We are seeking to invite young adults and young leaders from all over the world between the ages of 13--16; 17--24; 25--35 who have been inspired to make positive changes in their lives and are actively seeking to bring positive changes to their communities and societies.
