Conference on Youth and Interfaith Communication.
Youth has been regarded to be the nicest period of
human lives. Youth constitute a major force in the contemporary world. In
addition to their intellectual contribution and ability to mobilize support,
young people have a unique perspective. When appreciated and positively
engaged, youth can initiate actions that result in unprecedented social growth
and development. We recognise that youth are an important and indispensable
part of our communities that must be actively involved in processes and
initiatives for social change and development. Religion, on the other hand, has
the capacity of facilitating the attainment of appropriate standards of
excellence, motivating and equipping a compassionate response and influencing
citizens to become effective and powerful voices for change, peace and social
justice. Through the October 2010 International Conference on Youth and Interfaith
Communication, we intend to share the urgency of interfaith cooperation with young
people, key stakeholders and work with them to create and promote action plans
for global transformation.
