Young artists and activists of different faiths gathered recently to spread the messages of unity and interfaith dialogue.
They took part Feb. 24 in “Extending our Embrace,” created as part of the United Nations World Interfaith Harmony Week. It resulted from a collaboration between several Toronto-based groups, including the Mary Ward Centre and the Interfaith Youth Alliance Movement at the Toronto Catholic District School Board.
The event saw nearly 1,000 viewers tune in to its live-stream on YouTube, many being high school students. There were quite a few moments throughout the proceedings that potentially roused these students.
