Editorial

In the first issue of Auroville Today, way back in 1988, we said we would make it our mission to provide an overview of what is happening in the community in each issue.

We like to think we haven’t done badly in this endeavour, but one aspect which we have covered less well than others is the world of the Auroville youth.

In this special double issue, we begin to remedy this by inviting the youth of Auroville to present themselves.

There is no attempt to parcel their contributions up into a neat package because the youth are as individualised and unclassifiable as all other Aurovilians. But we hope that something of their lives and, above all, what they passionately care about and believe in, is communicated through these rich and varied expressions.
