Euro-Arab youth sustainability leadership Forum
from February till May
Earth Charter International and SHIFT Initiative have partnered to promote intercultural dialogue using the Earth Charter with the aim of striving to build a more sustainable, just and peaceful world.
European
and Arab young people face common challenges about sustainable
development, but have very different ways of understanding and viewing
it, especially in regards to environmental, economic and social sectors.
Young people in the Euro-Arab region promote and contribute to the
transition of sustainable ways of living and a global society founded on
a shared ethical framework that includes respect and care for the
community of life, ecological integrity, universal human rights, respect
for diversity, economic justice, democracy, and a culture of peace.
