We believe in the role young people can play in initiating change and translating international issues into local community activities. Of these key issues that continue to shape our relations and societies is that of coexistence and religious harmony.
The project will run from January 2015 – July 2016, with a view to continue beyond that, with sustainable activities and projects delivered by young people in partnership with local NGOs as well as public and private sector involvement.
