Posted on
The BA Futuristic Studies Unit holds on Wednesday, 2 May 2012, the launching ceremony of the Euro-Arab Sustainability Forum Second Phase , co-organized by Shift Network and the Swedish Institute in Alexandria, under the auspices of the Earth Charter Organization, the BA Memory of Modern Egypt Project, and the Faculty of Arts, Alexandria University.
Thirty young people aged between 18 and 25 from Europe and the Arab World participate in the Forum with an aim to build bridges of trust and mutual understanding.
The Forum attempts to end prejudice, othering, discrimination and stereotyping; train youth on positive participation; and find common informal methods to deal with conflicts.
The Forum’s first phase took place through the Earth Charter online panel, providing participants with an interactive space to exchange ideas on the role of youth, intercultural dialogue, and sustainability, and to plan their own projects.
The second phase will allow participants to meet and continue the work , which they have already started.
