In Lužnica, a place near Zagreb, from March 30th until April 2nd, 4th regional interfaith conference titled „By building Peace, we celebrate God“was held. The conference was organized by regional initiative Believers for Peace. Believers of abrahamic traditions from Bosnia and Herzegovina, Croatia, Kosovo, Macedonia and Serbia gathered on this event, talking about the topic “Re: Action – Believers for Peace in the time of nationalism and xenophobia”.
Members of Youth for Peace Emina Frljak, Lamija Hubanić, Daniel Eror and Emir Mujkanović also attended this conference, where they had the opportunity to listen to lectures delivered by reputable religious and academic authorities, thus enriching their knowledge about interreligious dialogue and ways of combating nationalism and xenophobia, and by doing so strengthening their own, but also Youth for Peace’s capacities. Besides the lectures, participants on this conference had the opportunity to experience above mentioned in practice through various interactive exercises, which allowed them to connect the knowledge with practical experiences.
Youth for Peace members also had a chance to present the organization to other participants on the conference and by that to establish regional cooperation with them. This helped them to exchange experiences regarding dialogue and peace building and think about future common projects and initiatives.
