| Global Encounters: Celebrating Excellence In Sport |
During his Diamond Jubilee year, Mawlana Hazar Imam established Global Encounters, bringing together flagship international programmes under one new institution. Global Encounters offers inspiring programmes - such as International Camps, Jubilee Arts and Heritage Journeys - that connect the Jamat together and celebrate our shared identity and individual talents. One such program is Jubilee Games. Using sports as a medium, the Jubilee Games aims to encourage the development of high performance athletes, the adoption of healthy and active lifestyles within the global Jamat, and seeks to unite the Jamat by showcasing its diverse cultural, social and linguistic traditions. We invite you to contribute and be a part of this new institution. Your generous gift will help to expand opportunities for particpants around the world, uniting the Jamat through transformational experiences, and advancing youth leadership and talent development in the arts, culture and sports. For $25/month for 4 years, you can support an aspiring and talented athlete with coaching and equipment, uplifting them to achieve their dreams. Contribute today. |

"History and memory are central to pluralism. We see this in many countries where education is critical to building a pluralistic society. And in Canada, where the historical narrative is key in advancing reconciliation with Indigenous peoples. When inclusive historical narratives can reflect a country’s diversity and foster belonging, an exclusionary narrative can deepen tensions and divisions between groups. These dynamics shape societal interactions for generations and can be challenging to change." Princess Zahra, 8th Annual Pluralism Lecture, May 2021 |
