Bringing together a diverse cross-section of over 100 young people aged 16 -19, the NYF was a day-long conference that created an open, frank and robust space for dialogue and action.

It centred around pro-active discussion about and responses to the following issues identified by the 8-person youth working committee:

Supported by the Pears Foundation and the Gulbenkian Foundation, the Rural-Urban School Exchange will link 15 students (age 13-14) from Sir James Smith school in Cornwall and 15 students from Tom Hood School in East London.

After a successful first phase from 2004 to 2006, then led by Save the Children UK, Diversity and Dialogue now enters its second phase. James Sevitt, Diversity and Dialogue Project Manager talks about how the project has been developing.

‘Believing in London’ brought together 100 young Londoners from a wide range of different faiths and backgrounds. It asked them to share their experiences of religion and diversity in London. Participants came in school groups, with youth or faith groups or as individuals.

Diversity and Dialogue, the joint agency project which aims to create better understanding between young people from different faiths and backgrounds has moved to the Citizenship Foundation to start its second phase, after more than two years based at Save the Children.

The Asia Europe Foundation and Casa Asia hosted their first youth interfaith dialogue, from 19th-23rd November, 2006 in Navarra, Spain.
