Young Islam Conference (2017)

The Young Islam Conference was founded in 2011 as a project initiated by Humboldt-Universität, Berlin and the Mercator foundation. Naika Foroutan was one of the initiators. It is a “dialog forum for young people” that addresses “questions about constructive and equal coexistence in an immigration society.” The Young Islam Conference is designed as a network of committed people working for an open and diverse society and against racism and prejudice.
