Jain Apprentice: You're Hired!
In this interactive and competition-like session, attendees will be separated into various groups and asked to develop and present entrepreneurial ideas based on Jain values, relating to fashion, sports, and restaurants. This session will foster creativity, networking, and the understanding of many Jain principles. Business suits are not necessary for participation, only a willingness to learn and have fun. Will you be the one who is hired?

Jain and Buster's
JAINISM is a journey to the inner world by following ahimsa (non-violence) to attain immortality through natural, intellectual, and spiritual manifestation. Most people are so busy in their practical lives that they do not have the time to perform long religious/spiritual rituals very often. Jainism, however, has so many other fun facts that can help us to embark on our journey to the inner world to realize our true nature that is a treasure of endless happiness and bliss. In this session we present how to create an invisible armor around you, Jain Shayaries, Jain jokes, and much more to enhance your interest in Jain Way of Life! So, get ready to get on board...
JSMC Youth - On behalf of the Jain Society of Metropolitan Chicago pathsala group, we are pleased to present fun Jain activities. Our core ambition is to reveal the fun perspective of Jainism and introduce it to our young Jains in order to sustain our precious philosophy. We've gone through many of the values of Jainism and hope that you enjoy the fun facts of Jainism as much as we have! - Palak Shah, Hemali Shah, and Rachana Modi
