You are cordially invited to the GLOBAL YOUTH VOICES WEBINAR that will showcase the videos submitted by Youth Leaders (Ages 14-32) for the Digital Interfaith Storytelling Campaign 2025 on February 26, 2025, at 10:00 am EST.

 

The Global Youth Voices campaign invites young people from diverse faiths and beliefs to share personal stories of interfaith experiences through digital platforms. Participants can create videos, podcasts, or written narratives that highlight how interfaith dialogue has inspired understanding, unity, and collaboration in their communities.

 

Objective

The "Global Voices" campaign aims to create a vibrant, inclusive, and youth-driven narrative celebrating the power of interfaith dialogue, fostering a sense of unity and harmony among the global community.

 

Within the framework of this campaign, young people from different parts of the world will be able to choose one of the three options to participate:

 

1.     Message or Poem on Peace, Hope, and Harmony: This activity invites individuals or groups to craft messages or poems that express themes of peace, harmony, and unity among diverse faiths and cultures. Participants can present their poems through virtual poetry slams, video recordings, or social media posts, fostering creativity and spreading the message of interfaith cooperation.

  Create a 2–3-minute video recording your message or your poem as part of the "Poem or Message on Peace, Hope, and Harmony" for the World Interfaith Harmony Week.

 

2.     A Challenge for Youth: Youth are encouraged to take part in the "Harmony in Action" challenge, where they create innovative projects—such as interfaith murals, cultural exchange workshops, or online dialogue sessions—that promote mutual respect and understanding among different faiths. The most impactful projects can be shared globally as examples of interfaith harmony. 

 

Create a 2–3-minute video highlighting the projects conducted as part of the "A Challenge for Youth" for the World Interfaith Harmony Week.

 

3.     30 Days of Kindness: This virtual campaign encourages participants to perform acts of kindness over thirty days, emphasizing values shared across faiths, such as compassion and generosity. Activities could range from helping a neighbor to donating to charity, help in an NGO, participate in solidarity event around the world, with participants documenting their acts on social media to inspire others. (Hashtags: #wihw2025, #harmonyweek2025, #interfaith)
