Mitraniketan Group couples Enlightenment and AWE

A group of AWE members gathered primo February in Mitraniketan, India, suggests rediscovering the concept of Enlightenment for the 21st century.

According to a set of recommendations that was released yesterday, a group within Association for World Education (AWE) wishes to revitalize the concept of Enlightenment for the 21^st century and within AWE.

The recommendations imply that the AWE network could be strengthened by organizing events on Enlightenment throughout the world and among AWE’s chapters and members.

The Mitraniketan group also foresees that its Enlightenment ideas should be further developed.

The AWE Enlightenment Seminar in Mitraniketan took place from January 31-February 4, 2012. A steering group pushed forward by AWE vice-president Chris Spicer organized the seminar. The group gathered in India was originally formed through the AWE International Council that took place at IPC, Elsinore, in 2010.
