ICS Junior Member Héctor Acero Ferrer is participating in the week's events as a featured speaker of multiple panels:
Face to Face: Building Relationship and Understanding through Conversation (Panel and Workshop). This panel will deal with the realities of interfaith and intercultural dialogue among youth and young adults.
Assets: What initiatives are faith communities and others currently undertaking and what impact are these efforts having?
Liabilities: What is not being done and where are the biggest omissions?
Future: How do youth respond to interfaith and what might this mean for the future of faith engagement in Toronto?
