Creating Global Awareness
In the wake of the global reality shift that occurred after the terrorist attacks
in the United States on 11 September 2001, the obvious lack of public
awareness and dearth of educational forums regarding the Sikh faith became
an issue of growing concern.
Global Awareness, one of the three main areas of focus to which SikhRI
devotes its efforts, is dedicated to countering this ignorance and the instances
of injustice and intolerance that too often accompanies lack of understanding.
Through lectures, discussions and seminars, SikhRI makes it a priority to
design and host programs which are intended to facilitate interaction and
dialogue among participants.
SikhRI is strongly committed to open educational forums that further “Harmony
in a world of difference.”
SikhRI has delivered at events in over 60 cities across 5 continents. The
venues include:
• Educational Institutions
• Government Agencies
• Interfaith and Inter-cultural Forums
• Sikh and Panjabi Organizations
• Radio and TV programs
SikhRI also undertakes regular efforts to reach out to the global community
through print, television, radio and Internet appearances.
