Knowledge & Arts Tour 2009





Lets be honest...its not easy being youth. There are so many challenges to be faced on a daily basis, hence many of us struggle to find the meaning & value of Islam in our lives.

The Knowledge & Arts Tour 09 is being held to specifically help us youth find that meaning & value of Islam.

Whether you're struggling with your faith or tasting the sweetness of it, this event is for you.


------

When & Where is it?
The entire K&A Tour is from 5th - 15th July 2009. The Arts segment dates are from 5th - 8th July 09 whereas the Knowledge segment is from 8th-15th July 09. Locations will be around KL & Selangor.

Who are the speakers? Are they cool?
Yes they are cool :) Our 2 International Knowledge speakers are all known for their easy going personalities, speaking skills and rapport with youth. For the Art segment, Mohammed Ali @ AerosolArabic will blow your socks off with his Urban Spiritual Art.

We need your help (God knows we really do!):

This event is organised by youth, as such we would like to empower of all you to have a hand in making it a success. Here's how -

1) Spread the word!
  • Get your friends & family to come. If someone says to you "I'm not a good Muslim, i'll be stared at by everyone else in the room", let them know that they won't be judged, instead we welcome them with open hearts.
  • Blog about the K&A Tour.
  • You know the power of Facebook... use it :)
2) Attend with a cheerful smile ;)

3) Apply what you'll learn at K&A to make the world a better place to live in, by improving ourselves as individuals, one small step at a time.
