The International Conference on Youth and Interfaith Communication will hold from May 29-30, 2009 in Nigeria. The Conference is committed to empowering youth to become responsible and active agents for genuine change and transformation by the provision of opportunities that honour and appreciate their gifts and abilities. The conference will empower participants to become essential contributors to community well-being and vitality by ensuring that their unique energy and creativity are not denied to their communities.
The Conference Theme of “Building Bridges Through Interfaith Dialogue and Citizen-to-Citizen Collaboration” will promote interfaith communication and build bridges of love, trust and friendship among religiously diverse youth, and provide a platform for local, national and international collaboration. The conference will engage participants in a dynamic experience of faith development as well as challenge them to positively respond to the universal call to holiness. By dialoging and working together in this atmosphere of trust and cooperative creativity, the conference will help to eliminate the rhetoric of hate and end various forms of violence perpetrated in the name of religion. This will in turn eliminate the predictable back biting, gossip and mistrust that flourish when interfaith is absent. The Conference will also recognize and honour as "Interfaith Ambassadors" those individuals whose lives and work represent and promote the ideals of peace, unconditional love, unity and social justice, among others.
The Conference will facilitate the deepening of mutual interfaith understanding through a thoughtful process of dialogue. All this will occur in an atmosphere of frank, open, personal heart-to-heart conversations that respects and accommodates religious, social and cultural needs and sensitivities. The Conference will provide participants with opportunities to explore what brings people together in spite of their different faith and cultural heritage. |
