A number of one-day academic seminars have been sponsored on various campuses on the theme of “Who is Writing the Future? – Agenda for the 21st Century”. These seminars serve as a forum for Baha’i and non-Baha’i academics to share a platform to exchange ideas on aspects of social and economic development, gender equality, leadership roles and other relevant issues. In all cases copies of the booklet on “Who is Writing the Future? – Reflections on the 20th Century” have been distributed with the invitation letters. Copies of the presented talks and programmes for some universities are available below.
