Let's Talk About Love
The Problem
Television, the Internet, etc. are polluting how young people view of love and sexuality. Young people often face their family's silence on the topics of love and sex, yet they often have 'experience' in it.
The generalization of divorce and celibacy must be addressed in the youngest age group, before they are confronted with these problems.
Parents, teachers, associations, imams... need to develop an enlightening discourse and animations to offer the wisdom of Islam on these subjects, and to contribute to facilitate sustainable marriage.
Aims of the Program
- To train parents, teachers, associations, imams, and ordinary people to give talks and host workshops among families or groups, with high school students, on the issues of Love, Marriage, Sexuality and Family, according to Islam as a universal and timely wisdom.
- To animate a network of speakers and ordinary people who are committed to helping each other to spread this wisdom.
