Discussion with youth at the Lutheran Theological Seminary to find ways of empowering young voices to contribute to a safer and better world.

The Global Youth Collaborative (GYC) of the Countering Violent Extremism Initiative is premised on the idea that youth around the world can and must act as agents of change within their communities to counter the underlying root causes that lead to violent extremism. To discuss this idea and garner concrete suggestions from relevant local leaders, the GYC held a workshop at the Lutheran Theological Seminary in Philadelphia, PA, on November 18, 2008.
