Youth and Children's Classes​

Children are the most precious treasure a community can possess, for in them are the promise and guarantee of the future.

For this promise to be realized, the moral and spiritual education of children assumes vital importance. The goal of spiritual education is to cultivate in children spiritual qualities such as love, forgiveness and justice, and to help them apply these qualities to their own lives and those around them.

 

Baha'i children’s classes are being conducted in neighbourhoods, at the community level, and in some schools. The classes aim to help children to:
 

• Acquire spiritual qualities such as love, truthfulness and generosity

• Develop patterns of behaviour that lead to a fruitful and productive life

• Become aware of God’s love for humanity and His unfailing assistance

 

Children who have reached the age of 12 can continue this educational process with further age-appropriate materials. Eventually, they reach the stage where they can take personal responsibility for their own spiritual development and contribute to the wellbeing of society.
