Becky Hatch participated in this event, representing Diversity and Dialogue. The participants worked together in workshops over four days, discussing their own experiences and attitudes to various aspects of youth interfaith relations. Discussions included a comparison of the different government policies across the European and Asian countries represented. Sessions focussed on Interfaith and Intercultural Dialogue, Education, Socio-Religious Conflict and Religion in the Media. Each working group offered their own recommendations and these were combined into a declaration representing the views of the group - The Javier Declaration.
The participants also took part in cultural activities, including a jazz concert and visit to the Javier monastery. Many high profile speakers also attended the event, offering their insights on building trust and understanding.
