In 2024, our work focused on understanding how individuals and communities across the world can meaningfully participate to address the challenges of our time. What does participation truly mean? And how can we redefine it to meet today’s needs?

This work led us to many discussions on a range of essential topics, from the role of youth in shaping society, to building sustainable and equitable food systems, the role cities or towns play in bringing diverse populations together, overcoming racism and prejudice, reimagining global governance systems, and upholding the human rights of Baha’is in Iran, Egypt, Qatar and Yemen.

Our 2024 year in review video provides some glimpses into our exploration of these subjects.
