About this Event: In response to the growing need for interfaith collaboration and understanding, this training program is designed to equip diverse youth faith leaders across the GTA with the skills to foster interfaith relations, counter faith-based vulnerabilities and promote peace. Recent increases in hate-motivated violence underscore the urgency of strengthening interfaith connections and empowering young leaders to bridge divides and advocate for religious freedom. Through this initiative, participants will engage in discussions, skill-building exercises and collaborative learning experiences to reduce religiously motivated violence and discrimination.
