About the event
This session invites students to engage in a reflective dialogue on leadership understood as a relational and ethical praxis at the intersection of faith, human rights, and law. Drawing on the Faith for Rights framework and interfaith dialogue, the conversation explores how ethical conviction, knowledge, and the universality of human rights can be reconciled and mobilized to foster social cohesion, legal resilience, and peace in polarized contexts.
The session encourages students to examine how spiritually informed perspectives and legal frameworks can coexist — and mutually reinforce one another — in responding to religious discrimination, polarization, and violence.
