WHAT
WHY
FOR WHOM
"What can we do to respond to the most pressing challenges of our time, such as violence and conflicts?
What if we trained ourselves in order to build societies based on respect and coooperation together, where we will all be indebted to each other?”
That is the challenge that twenty young Christians, Muslims and Jews from different European and Middle Eastern countries will be facing at the summer seminar organised by I.T.OUCH’.
Because Europe and the world need ambassadors of ‘good coexistence’ (www.coexister.fr), and it is possible to enlarge networks gathering people who foster peace and positive coexistence.
For youth workers, teachers, educators, men and women from Jewish, Christian or Muslim backgrounds and from different countries.
For people willing to start or continue initiatives involving interfaith dialogue for a positive coexistence on a local level.
For you!
