The primary goal was to introduce the concept of interreligious dialogue, explain its significance in today’s multi-faith world, and encourage young people to become ambassadors of peace and cooperation across religious boundaries.
The objective was to educate students about the concept and purpose of interreligious dialogue, to highlight the importance of respecting and understanding other faith traditions, to encourage practical ways of promoting peace, tolerance, and cooperation and to nurture a sense of global citizenship among Catholic students through interfaith engagement.
