The threat of terrorism remains high around the world. Perpetrators manipulate religion and radicalise individuals to justify violent acts of terrorism. It is important to educate members of the public, especially youth from different faiths on the impact of terrorism on social cohesion. The 5 IRCCs from West Coast GRC and Pioneer SMC will be organising a youth dialogue on 8 Oct 2016 (Saturday), 10am-1.30pm to forge deeper understanding of the issue and strengthen trust within the communities.
