Youth Activities (Ages 13-20)
Welcome to Youth Activities at the 2013 JAINA Convention!
This year's team of ten individuals has worked around the clock to make sure that each youth has an un
forgettable experience - and pretty we're confident it will be!
Daytime Sessions: So, what can you expect from this weekend? Our sessions range from leadership and philosophy to testing your Jain knowledge with our newest competition: Jain Family Feud! We will feature speakers from around the country, as well as familiar faces from the Jain community. Our unique programming will expose you to models of Jains and non-Jains currently living Jain values in their personal and professional lives. You can advance your Jain principles by joining in our exciting discussions and debates, and learn new ways to apply Jain Dharma to real-world situations. You don't want to miss these sessions!
Global Impact: In line with this year's convention theme, "Jainism: The Global Impact” we hope that each session will broaden horizons and encourage youth to think about ways that they can go back to their daily lives and make an impact, whether small or large.
This weekend, we will engage Jain youth through lessons on Jain Dharma, leadership seminars, and interactive teachings to develop a well-rounded, strong foundation of Jain youth, all while connecting youth across the globe.
Evening Social: But that's not all! Get ready for some never-seen-before social activities, planned especially for you! Our daytime ice-breakers and evening mixers will help foster new friendship and strengthen personal networks.
And, of course, getting ready to dance your socks off at our Saturday evening formal, exclusive to Youth Activities!
This weekend will be one to remember - so get ready to have the time of your life!
