NAINConnect 2008 Workshops

Theme: Multifaith Challenges We Face
INTERGENERATIONAL INTERFAITH LEARNING

WORKSHOP SUMMARY
On the path to interfaith understanding and peace-building, the older generation needs to be able to ‘hand the torch for peace’ to young people as they prepare to become interfaith leaders for the 21st century. In this workshop, members of the the older and younger generations gather to learn from each other. A DVD featuring the peace-building works of both generations will be shown, followed by a World Cafe discussion where we will share our own experiences. Prabha Duneja will open the session and Kristina Seher will lead the discussion that follows, featuring three young adults, Christopher Dodge, Philaine-Fleischman, and Kazue Nojima
