Welcome to the North and Central England Summer School  Information Site

August 16 to August 20


Registration is now open


North and Central Summer school 2024 is set to be an uplifting and inspiring experience. Everyone will be warmly welcomed.  It provides a special opportunity to explore and learn from efforts to translate the revelation of Baha’u’llah for the betterment of the world into reality.   

“...Bahá’u’lláh’s vision of a unified world will offer a hopeful and clear direction to peoples whose perception has been distorted by the confusion prevailing in the world, and a constructive path for cooperation in the search for solutions to long-standing social maladies. As the spirit of the Faith increasingly permeates the hearts to enkindle love and reinforce the shared identity of humanity as one people..”  
The Universal House of Justice 28 November 2023

The theme for the school this year is “Building a Unified World” a phrase taken from the message of the Universal House of Justice 28 November 2023.  This seminal message will be the focus of the school with plenary sessions revealing gems gleaned from its rich vein of insight and reflection.  The aim of the school is to create a purposeful and joyful atmosphere where learning is strengthened; enabling us to return to our communities better equipped to serve. 

“And the sweetest moments of all for any enkindled heart are those spent with spiritual sisters and brothers, tending to a society in need of spiritual nourishment.”    
The Universal House of Justice. Ridvan 2024  

"How wonderful it would be if all the friends could arrange to spend at least a few days in one of these summer schools and take an active part in their development. These centers could attract many souls if properly arranged and made interesting; those non-Bahá’ís who visit them will then have some time to get into the spirit of the place and make a study of the Cause…."      
From a letter written on behalf of the Guardian to an individual believer.
