ABU DHABI, United Arab Emirates — The 2nd International Dialogue of Civilizations and Tolerance Conference held recently in Abu Dhabi explored the vital part that youth can play in building a more cohesive and peaceful society.
“Increasingly it is youth who, less encumbered by outmoded ways of thinking, recognize that the human race is one and its populations are interdependent,” stated David Rutstein, Secretary-General of the Bahá’í International Community, in his address to a plenary session.
The conference, sponsored by His Excellency Sheikh Nahayan Mabarak Al Nahyan, Minister of Tolerance and Coexistence in the United Arab Emirates and the Emirates Scholar Center for Research and Studies, brought together over 3,000 academics, faith communities, policymakers, and representatives of civil society from 112 countries.
