Finding Bibi – New Trailer

April 23rd, 2009 | No Comments | Posted in Video

Bita Haidarian, an award-winning Iranian American filmmaker fresh out of film school, sets off on a journey around the world to answer the big questions – who am I, where do I come from, and where can a girl find a good laser hair removalist?

Bita brings us from ‘Tehrangeles’ where Iranian girls get their noses re-shaped in posh Beverly Hills offices, to the garment district of LA where she cut her teeth in the fashion industry, to high society London where veiled women take lessons on how to secure a husband. Where princes and emirs mix with lords and ladies, Bita will take us into lesser-known corners of women and the Middle Eastern world.

Finding Bibi smashes worldwide stereotypes about women in the Middle East and is simultaneously a clarion call for the emancipation of women around the world. Check out her blog at: http://www.mideastyouth.com/findingbibi/

UK university’s support for Iran’s Bahá’í students

April 12th, 2009 | 1 Comment | Posted in Initiatives, Iran

(BNUK) Students at Durham University  have passed a motion expressing their concern for young Bahá’ís in Iran who are excluded from higher education.

The motion - passed last night by Durham’s Student Union (DSU) - affirmed that  all people should have equal access to higher education on the basis of merit.

Since 1979, the government of the Islamic Republic of Iran has systematically sought to deprive members of the Bahá’í Faith of access to higher education. Countless young Bahá’í’s have been refused entry to universities and colleges. Others already studying have been expelled on the basis of their religion.

EBBF Weekend in Acuto – Living Values

April 12th, 2009 | No Comments | Posted in Bahai, Conference

EBBF takes you on a weekend journey to help make you a pioneer.

  • “starting from the foundations of our values, getting to know them, increasing our awareness of them,
  • hearing the experiences of people who have released these values in their offices,
  • we will then work with them on solutions, ideas and guides that will help us make a meaningful difference in our work environment.”

Like-minded individuals with the same desire to find new ways to make our values work in organizations come together in the beautiful medieval town of Acuto, perched on the Italian hills in the Province of Rome.

Enjoy a weekend of Italian food, warm hospitality in the company of like-minded individuals who are also looking for ways to apply their values to become pioneers in creating a new holistic world order.
