Sevadar: Becoming an Inspiring Activist

Event Details

WHAT IS SANEHA?
Saneha is a series of lectures, presentations, and workshops that are delivered as personal and/or community development sessions. Sessions are developed with the aim of fostering Sikh values based on Gurmat traditions of Sikh scripture, history, and discipline. Other universal principles that resonant with
the message of the Sikh faith are also incorporated to achieve a more holistic approach. Each Saneha workshop provides an opportunity for participants to ask questions and arrive at answers through discussion and interpretation.

TOPIC:
Sevadar: Becoming an Inspiring Activist
For the past 25 years, worldwide Sikh activities and events have effectively created an awareness of the Sikh faith, now the fifth largest religion in the world. However, mere awareness of Sikhi is no longer enough – active and engaged leadership is required to re-establish the Sikh spirit within our youth and throughout our nation.

Sevadar directly addresses these needs through a one-day instructional seminar that inspires Sikhs to become positive, informed activists within their communities. Sevādār trains activists to become engaged, well informed and effective leaders. It implores attendees to continuously develop themselves while inspiring others to make positive individual and institutional changes. Sevadar facilitates the development of one’s capabilities to impart the Sikh vision within a variety of settings. Attendees are challenged to not only act or talk like a Sikh, but to advance their thinking through questioning, self-exploration, and engaged learning.
