The theme of the 2012 Irish Bahá'í Summer School - The Power of the Covenant - encompasses not only the programme of the school but the continuing efforts of Bahá'ís throughout the world. "To direct and canalize the forces released by His Revelation He instituted His Covenant, whose power has preserved the integrity of His Faith, maintained its unity and stimulated its world-wide

expansion throughout the successive ministries of 'Abdu'l-Bahá and Shoghi Effendi. It continues to fulfil its life-giving purpose through the agency of the Universal House of Justice." (Universal House of Justice "The Constitution of the Universal House of Justice").

There's something for everyone at the school. Children, Junior Youth,

Youth and Adults - can all partake in full and varied programmes. In addition to the sessions, classes, activities and courses that will run each day, each evening there will be a full and varied programme of Arts and Activity based workshops open to everyone.

As well as the formal programme at Summer School there are also informal sessions

throughout the week and, of course, the usual complement of entertainment and sports activities.

Kilkenny College offers many areas suitable for casual recreation, relaxation and chatting and if at any time you are feeling in need of reading materials or refreshments, these will all be available to you from our Bookshop, Coffee Shop and Tuck Shop.
