The
Khadem Foundation operates the World Peace Programme, a university-level program providing
participants with an environment conducive to personal development and
the building of community. By attending the World Peace
Programme, participants join an international student body
which is motivated by the desire to grow and to enhance their
participation in processes leading to the transformation of self and
society.
With
this in mind, the World Peace Programme aims to deepen spiritual
awareness, increase understanding of world affairs, and help humanity
discover the path to peace. At a typical session session students will study:
-
The
spiritual heritage of the human race, including the essential
characteristics of the major world religions and principles of an
constructive interfaith dialogue.
-
The
ways in which urbanization affects our lives and the global environment
and how to make our cities environmentally sustainable and healthy
places to live. Areas of study include reducing natural disaster
risks in cities, strengthening local economies, urban health, and
greening urban transportation.
-
A contemplative arts program introduces participants to a variety of meditation techniques that can be of great benefit in achieving
inner peace.
The
World Peace Programme is a continuance of the World Order Studies
Programme, which was offered for nine consecutive summers in
Switzerland with great success (1989-1998). It is led by Professors
Suheil Bushrui and James Malarkey, with support from a team of
volunteers and guest speakers.
