The primary objective of this panel discussion is to foster interfaith dialogue, promote mutual understanding, and empower the youth to combat racism in all its forms, thereby facilitating peaceful, just, and inclusive societies and a sustainable future for all. Additionally, the event seeks to encourage youth engagement in realizing the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), focusing on SDGs 11 and 17, all from a faith-based perspective.  

This momentous gathering will bring together distinguished faith leaders, esteemed scholars, dedicated activists, and, of great significance, young representatives from diverse communities.
