The event brought together UNESCO&#8217;s interfaith NGO partners, including eight leading organizations, to showcase the essential role of religions and spiritual traditions in fostering a culture of peace and non-violence through education.<\/p>\n<p>New Humanity NGO, through the<a href=\"https:\/\/ngo-unesco.net\/\"> NGO-UNESCO Liaison Committee<\/a>, played a central role in supporting this initiative, organizing a round table to demonstrate how interfaith and intercultural dialogue can drive united human values, even in a challenging world.<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: left;\"><strong>Key Takeaways from the Round-Table<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Several influential speakers shared valuable insights during the round-table, shedding light on diverse perspectives:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>B\u00e9reng\u00e8re Savelieff (Pax Christi)<\/strong>: Presented a compelling case for inter-religious collaboration based on a UN resolution, sharing a field experience from the Congo that demonstrated how dialogue drives actionable change in conflict-affected areas.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Maria Teresa Siniscalco<\/strong>: Showed how interfaith dialogue enriches school education, with examples from schools in Pakistan and Slovenia, illustrating its role in building bridges between young people of different backgrounds.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Reverend Youshiharu (WFB &amp; Religions for Peace Japan)<\/strong>: Explored how interfaith approaches address ethical dilemmas in emerging fields like Artificial Intelligence, showcasing the relevance of spiritual perspectives in modern challenges.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Professor Fabio Petito<\/strong>: Argued for closer collaboration between religious organizations and governments, emphasizing that this partnership is essential for tackling contemporary global issues effectively.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: left;\"><strong>Building Momentum for Action<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>The discussions also served as a platform to strengthen the role of interfaith dialogue in global policymaking. Panelists and participants expressed their willingness to present the work of the NGO-UNESCO Liaison Committee to key delegations, including those of France and Italy, to garner support for a UNESCO resolution. The next step involves reaching out to additional member states of UNESCO&#8217;s Executive Board to build broad-based backing.<\/p>\n<p>Furthermore, the round-table reinforced the unity and commitment of the NGO-UNESCO Liaison Committee. This shared sense of purpose will drive ongoing initiatives, including a magazine project led by Pax Christi. The magazine will highlight the committee\u2019s collective achievements, further advancing advocacy efforts with UNESCO member states.<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: left;\"><strong>Why This Matters<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>The conference was a powerful reminder that inter-religious dialogue is not just theoretical; it creates real, measurable change. From shaping educational practices to addressing complex ethical questions, it fosters collaboration that transcends cultural and religious boundaries.<\/p>\n<p>We invite you to watch the sessions and be inspired by the stories and strategies shared:<\/p>\n<p><div class=\"cookieconsent-optout-marketing\">\n                        <a href=\"javascript:Cookiebot.renew()\" style=\"background: url(https:\/\/www.new-humanity.org\/wp-content\/plugins\/yt-placeholder-cookiebot\/assets\/placeholder.jpg) no-repeat center center \/ cover; aspect-ratio: 1 \/ 0.48; width: 100%; display: block; margin: 20px 0; position: relative; background-size: cover; background-position: center;\">\n                            <span style=\"position: absolute; bottom: 20px; width: 100%; padding: 0 5%; text-align: center; box-sizing: border-box;\">To view this video, you need to enable all Cookies<\/span>\n                        <\/a>\n                   <\/div><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"YouTube video player\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/RyG9rMYmuoo?si=7vPHdHiIuoSYLCT3\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/HPYCpzole3w\" rel=\"noopener\">October 28 Morning Session<\/a> | <a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/DiUDTjzx5Ro\" rel=\"noopener\">October 28 Afternoon Session<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/KZecYEyi27Y\" rel=\"noopener\">October 29 Morning Session<\/a> | <a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/Z5D0HXE8kEE\" rel=\"noopener\">October 29 Afternoon Session<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>On October 28-29, 2024, the World Fellowship of Buddhists (WFB), in collaboration with the Kingdom of Thailand, hosted an inspiring two-day international conference.
