The main purpose of the workshop is to educate both adults and youth (over 14 years of age) with regards to the fundamental principles and philosophy of Jainism and how to apply these principles in all walks of life through practical examples. This includes social, business, family, ethical, religious and spiritual environment.

Workshop Overview and Major Topics
The workshop takes Jainism beyond being just a religious identification for people. It
discusses the fundamentals, which can be easily applied in our daily life. The workshop
uses interactive method of Learning and Communication, which needs debates,
discussions and open mindedness. The workshop is not a lecture format where the
audience has very little input in terms of participation and discussion… to continue to
