Learning to Live Together

Inspired, motivated and willing to make a difference in their societies -- these are some of the characteristics of the youth involved in the Global Network of Religions for Children (GNRC).  Most of them participated in the testing workshops of Learning to Live Together: An Intercultural and Interfaith Programme for Ethics Education, carried out in their countries by the Interfaith Council on Ethics Education for Children.  Since then, the programme participants have become very active in the GNRC.  During the last couple of years, more activities have taken place allowing youth to reflect on and promote respect, reconciliation, empathy and responsibility, values highlighted in Learning to Live Together.

As a result of regional trainings and events, the GNRC youth have organised a variety of activities in Belgium, Colombia, El Salvador, Jordan, Kenya, India, Spain, Sri Lanka and Tanzania.  More young individuals are testing their ideas by putting them to practice and making their voices heard.  The youth are appreciating the usefulness of learning resources and tools proposed in the Learning to Live Together manual for training peers, raising their awareness about violence, and for furthering mutual understanding, respect and other positive values in their families, communities and schools.

GNRC Youth
A group of GNRC youth representing diverse countries and cultures -- very active in organizing and supporting new peace initiatives -- are profiled below.  Their ideas and participation spurred new projects and partnerships such as the GNRC youth group in Belgium that meets to discuss cultural differences, similarities and prejudice in society with the aid of Learning to Live Together  modules, and other groups in Colombia, El Salvador, Israel and Kenya.

You are welcome to learn more about the youth active in the GNRC and their activities by clicking on their respective pictures below, and also to discuss own activities and projects at the Campus.
