It should be noted that Baku International Multiculturalism Center along with ICESCO organized the 2nd International Youth Forum on Multiculturalism. Dedicated to the theme “Youth as Ambassadors of Peace building in a Multicultural Environment”, the aim of the Forum is to bring together young people from different countries to promote multicultural values, foster intercultural dialogue, and strengthen interfaith understanding. Nearly 70 participants from more than 50 countries have joined the Forum. The Forum is being held in Baku, Khankendi, and Shusha. Within the framework of the Forum, panel discussions, interactive sessions, and training programs are planned. Moreover, participants will get acquainted with the state of cultural heritage and reconstruction efforts in Azerbaijan’s liberated historical lands.
