Past Programs
samrath 2007 high school leadership program
"Studies of the Sikh She" - University of Washington Winter 2007

This program was our first attempt and bringing young women together and encouraging them to be introspective about their lives. Through coupling a Sikh passage of writing (and translation) along, a theoretical piece of work, and a writing assignment- our weekly discussions were lively.
The goal of this course was to provide young women at the University of Washington a community of people who had similar life experiences, a common understanding of fundamental Sikh values, and could effectively articulate through writing or verbally issues of concern to them as Sikh women.
We offered two courses for ten weeks. Each course had five participants and all participated with the creation of a chat book of their words and thoughts, the final "hands" circle mural and a culminating combined potluck.
