    Introduction<\/h3>\n

    Dear interfaith colleagues,<\/p>\n

    It is with great enthusiasm that we present to you Youth and Interfaith Dialogue: A Directory of GTA Organizations<\/i>!<\/p>\n

    This compilation of organizations \u2013 all of them currently engaged in youth and interfaith work in the Greater Toronto Area \u2013 was created as a networking tool to facilitate and empower communication between local interfaith initiatives. In addition to the main directory, you will find educational resources, potential global partners, and other useful information. Through this document, and through ongoing field research, we hope to reach out to initiatives we have not yet encountered.<\/p>\n

    This directory is an effort of Scarboro Missions Interfaith Department. Through this youth listing we hope to contribute to the creation of a sustainable network, fostering interreligious collaboration amongst youth in our city and around the world. Please feel free to forward this directory to colleagues and to post it on websites and social media. To add your organization to this GTA youth directory, or to learn more about developments in the field of youth & interfaith, please do not hesitate to contact me.<\/p>\n

    Thank you!<\/p>\n

    \n\u201cThe Brampton Multicultural Youth Council is a youth-led initiative for youth. Our mission is to connect youth to a world of different cultures. We do this by hosting a variety of interactive events and workshops throughout the year, as well as on social media. We strive to unite the community in order to celebrate our diversity, and in the process, help make a difference. In our events, we expose youth to “hidden cultures” around the world and we explore ideas such as cultural identity, cultural gaps, stereotypes and perception. We hope that understanding the diversity that exists around us will be a step in the direction of making stronger societies to which everyone can belong.\u201d<\/div>\n

    \nHeart to Heart brings a group of twenty Israeli teenagers to Canada every summer. Half of these participants identify as Palestinian Israeli and half as Jewish Israeli.

The group also visits Parliament Hill in Ottawa, and spends four days living with Canadian host families while touring Toronto.

    \nKids4Peace (International) is an interfaith peace education organization dedicated to encouraging children of different cultures and faith traditions to explore their differences and similarities, and to learn understanding, tolerance and respect, while fostering sustainable friendships across the lines of conflict. On a number of occasions in recent years, Kids4Peace (Canada) has brought four Jewish, four Muslim, and four Christian eleven year-old children from the Galilee region of Israel to a two-week summer camp experience in Ontario to create new friendships and to help build the human foundations for peace in their troubled region. In the camp, they are joined by a corresponding number of Canadian children from the three faiths. All participants \u2013 staff, families and children \u2013 share a commitment to peace. They also share a belief that an educational experience of respect and understanding for cultural and religious diversity should begin with the very young.

Past discussion themes have included the relationship between science and religion, the relationship between genders and how this is affected by one\u2019s faith or worldview, how one\u2019s faith or worldview affects one\u2019s relationships and how to deal with mental health stigmas.<\/div>\n
