03 Apr Doha Interfaith Dialogue organises forum for students
The Doha International Center for Interfaith Dialogue (DICID) organised the first cultural dialogue forum hosting university students based in Qatar.
The forum was organized under the theme “Cultural Dialogue Forum” in the Sealine beach with the participation of 15 university students from different nationalities, faiths and gender.
The forum was part of an entertainment programme where many cultural questions were raised and a variety of answers given by the participants in cultural context, in addition to contests and social communication opportunities were given to the participants.
The idea of hosting youth from different faiths, languages and culture has come to highlight the importance of creating platforms for them to engage in dialogue and know each other’s perception towards the other, said Dr Ibrahim Al-Naimi, Chairman of DICID.
Speaking about the dialogue event which continued from 7 am to 4 pm in the Sealine area, Al Naimi said cultural activities are part of the DICID concerns along workshops, training programs and publishing of books and brochures.
Hosting the youth in a non-traditional setting in open air makes the discussions more friendly, informal and open, he added. One of the questions that created high interaction of participants and encouraged participation was a question raised by Prof. Khair Aladdin Khoja, professor of Quranic Science and Islamic Culture at CCQ.
