All middle school, high school students, college students are invited to join us for this unique youth dialogue with His Holiness the XIV Dalai Lama.

This is indeed a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to meet one another and listen to a global spokesperson for universal human rights and the power of every individual to impact world affairs.

The Dalai Lama will be speaking on creating compassionate and ethical leadership both inside and outside the classroom. This will be an opportunity to connect the values of ethical leadership to the work of the classroom, in personal responsibilities, and in fostering leadership qualities in our community.

UC Irvine is pleased to host this event in partnership with over a dozen Orange County educational and community organizations and in cooperation with The Dalai Lama Foundation.
