This year’s keynote speaker
The main speaker of the summer school 2024 is Steve Sarowitz from the USA. He will speak on the topic “Why we need a spiritual revolution – the Bahá’í perspective.” Below you can read a little about Steve.
Steve started the Wayfarer Foundation in 2021 as a Bahá’í-inspired organization with the mission to “advance humankind spiritually towards a future peaceful world civilization”. He actively works for world peace through the elimination of racism, promoting gender equality, and initiatives for educational equity. His philanthropy supports various causes related to education, healthcare, and poverty reduction.
He co-produced the film ‘Abdu’l-Baha in France’ through his media production company, Spring Green Films and produced the film “The Gate” about the life of the Báb. He is also the executive producer of the award-winning documentary, “Maya Angelou: And Still I Rise”.
Some talks he has given can be found on YouTube. Below is a link to a short interview with him entitled, “Why the World Needs Faith and Business Together”.
