The Program

Entitled "Responsible Leadership in Diversity and Dialogue" the Vienna Forum focused on how responsible leadership can make a difference in the following three major issues:

the promotion, protection and full enjoyment of the right to religious freedom in a context of religious pluralism which consists not only of greater diversity, but of perceptions of that diversity and new patterns of interaction among religious groups,
media pluralism and diversity of media content and their contribution to fostering public debate, democracy and awareness of diverse opinions,
and the shaping a new narrative for migration, integration and mobility in the global economy.
