Youth Center clarifies
The Auroville Youth Center has sent out a mass bulletin to all residents stating that the Youth Center is a place of learning, exploration and personal growth for youth of all kinds and ages and that it has recently started to work closely with the community, creating various workshops such as welding, woodwork, kombucha making, mushroom cultivation; with more to come. To finance these learning activities the Centre has been holding pizza nights every weekend. The Centre clarified that these evenings aim to encourage community bonding, youth integration and involvement, and the sharing of joy and fun. It stated that its internal security is watchful and ensures the evenings do not devolve into a “party place”, and that no alcohol, tobacco, and illegal and unethical behavior are present. All events and activities in the Youth Center end by 10pm sharp, with no exceptions.
