The Global Youth Cooperation Circle connects and empowers youth initiatives. Its goals are to:

  • Develop a global youth network for URI;
  • Amplify youth participation at all levels of URI (local, regional and global);
  • Develop young people's skills, capacities and confidence so that rooted in our traditions, we can respect each other and better serve the world in which we live;
  • Support communication flowing between young people and exchange of stories, ideas and values as a model for how "to build cultures of peace, justice and healing for the Earth and all living beings."


The URI Global Youth Email Exchange, over 225 interfaith youth activists from 46 countries, is a network for and by young people to:

 

  • Engage in interfaith dialogue about faith practices and perspectives, 
  • Share replicable interfaith action projects and practices,  
  •  Announce relevant international workshops, conferences and leadership opportunities, and  
  • Circulate relevant resources and learnings from the field of grassroots interfaith action and peacebuilding


Our dream is that together we co-create an interfaith community that inspires us, connects us and supports our work. Below is a recent summary of this online community, to give you a sense of the incredible resources in our midst.
