Creating Social Cohesion in Village and City
For those who live, work and raise families in urban environments, the need for respectful, harmonious relationships among people of diverse ethnicities, cultural values and religious and spiritual traditions is today clearer than ever - but no more easy to achieve. Gaining the full participation of migrant or marginalized populations, without prejudice or discrimination, can be especially challenging. The 2009 Parliament offers an impressive group of speakers and presentations that address the multiple challenges and solutions to creating social cohesion in village and city. Come learn how social harmony can be transformed from an ideal into a reality.
