This seminar engages youth in tackling challenges presented by multicultural contexts in developing shared values, intercultural and interfaith dialogue. Despite their easy access to information and learning opportunities, students lack awareness of the importance of religious and cultural diversity and the competences to engage effectively in intercultural dialogue.
