ROME, 25 September 2021, (TON): The first International Youth Forum Against Islamophobia will be held this weekend in Rome.
The online forum, organized as part of the Youth Empowerment Support project, aims to raise awareness about Islamophobia so as to effectively combat it.
“Free to believe, free to think, free to be” is the title of the event, which is co-funded by the Rights, Equality and Citizenship Program of the European Commission.
The organizers said at a press conference “the forum “aims to be a space and an opportunity for young people to discuss and think concretely about how to build a more inclusive and diverse society, free from stereotypes and discrimination, through debates, workshops and exchanges of experiences.”
The goal, they added, is “to create new connections between communities in Europe and to transfer knowledge” so as to help young Italians and Europeans, Muslim and non-Muslim alike, provide information and guidance on the rights of religious minorities.
