For an overview of the role of youth in advancing the objectives of the UNAOC, see this video:
Established in 2005, the United Nations Alliance of Civilizations is an initiative of the UN Secretary General which aims to improve understanding and cooperation between states and peoples of different cultures and religions. In this process, the UNAOC hopes to counter the forces that contribute to extremism and polarization by encouraging dialogue, understanding and respect among people from diverse cultural and religious backgrounds.
The UNAOC Youth Website provides a central point of reference for youth interested in advancing cross-cultural understanding. This website is a place where youth are able to discuss issues and seek resources that can help them find their own unique ways to contribute to the development of inclusive societies.
“If we want to bring and become the change we want, we will have to become crazy dreamers.....And we will have to go down the line to achieve what has not allowed us to sleep! We cannot become the change we want by remaining what we are!”
