Brussels, 22/04/2008 (Agence Europe) - The European Commission recently announced its contribution to the funding of a religious training programme for young persons and future business leaders in Jordan.
The action, conceived as part of “interreligious dialogue”, will be undertaken through a centre, SALTO-Youth, itself financed by the European Commission, and aims to promote Euro-Mediterranean cooperation in the context of the Youth in Action programme. It will provide support for networks and diffuse best practice. SALTO Youth aims to promote dialogue among the different religions, spiritual and humanistic traditions mainly in the Euro-Med context, where conflicts are increasingly associated with religious belonging. The action will take the form of a seminar to be held in the Jordan capital from 22 to 30 June. (F.B.)
