4th International ECPD Youth Forum Pula
CULTURE OF PEACE: MIGRANT CRISIS AND THE YOUTH
(23-25 September 2016, Pula, Croatia)
In an effort to make culture of peace and tolerance spread throughout the world, ECPD continues, in cooperation with Istria Region and the City of Pula, its activities towards exploring the possibilities for international and interethnic reconciliation, religious tolerance and human security and organizes Youth Forum in Pula.
Starting from the fact that the current migrant movements have been significantly changing the demographic map of the world and of Europe in particular, the understanding of the cultural and religious differences presents one of the biggest challenges of the today’s global development as well as the significant component of the long-lasting peace and sustainable development. In the era of globalization, when the world has been connected more than ever, it is extremely important to promote a responsible leadership in all the spheres and all the levels of society. The worldwide youth presents the significant potential and leaders of the future world system of the joint values and tolerance.
