Iraqi Youth Dialogue for
Peace and Reconciliation (IYD)
Under the patronage of United States Institute
for Peace (USIP), youths from Generation Iraq
and various other organizations participated in
a workshop for peace and national
reconciliation.
These youths representing different sects and
different social backgrounds within the areas of
conflict in Iraq, gathered in Dalaslama, India
to receive training, along with 37 members of
various other organizations, on the development
of peace within Iraq, which would, in turn, lead
to national reconciliation. There were various
discussions on how to target youth from
different sects, particularly within areas of
conflict where violence and sectarianism are
widespread, and guide them towards participating
in finding solutions for their problems through
positive dialogue; how to encourage them to
embrace peace, forgiveness and put an end to
division and sectarian wars.
The gathering was meant as an open dialogue
between youth from different religious and
ethnic backgrounds, helping create an exchange
of ideas, shared information, and the
development of a partnership, aimed at a common
goal of achieving peace, security and
reconciliation among the various communities.
