Indo Afghan Youth Forum

The desire to see stronger youth engagement as volunteers and decision-makers has gained momentum across the world, concurrent with the growing realization that failure to engage with the youth constructively can lead to an enormous loss of creative and vibrant energy. Placing the youth at the forefront has therefore been widely endorsed as crucial for building and sustaining a culture of peace and coexistence. Taking its commitment to engage the youth on issues of peacebuilding and conflict transformation further, WISCOMP’s formed an Indo-Afghan Youth Forum to bring the youth from the two countries together, periodically to interact and dialogue on a range of non-violent, transformative responses to the endemic ethnic, communitarian and political conflicts in the South Asian region. Through film screenings, discussions and heritage walks, it provides a space to the youth to not only respect and appreciate differences, but also search for common ground through which the goals of sustainable peace and security can be established.



 
Wiscomp was established as part of the efforts of the Foundation for Universal Responsibility to build a culture of coexistence and nonviolence that is gender-sensitive and inclusive. A not-for-profit, non-sectarian, non-denominational organization, the Foundation promotes universal responsibility in a manner that celebrates a diversity of beleifs and practices, and that contributes to a global ethic of nonviolence, coexistence and gender equity. The work of the Foundation is global in its reach and transcends nationalist political agendas.
