Sponsors ‘Against Violence... With Tolerance’ Forum
KUWAIT: To mark the International Day for Tolerance, Gulf Bank sponsored Kuwait University’ second annual ‘Against Violence... With Tolerance’ forum. The forum was organized by Kuwait University’s College of Social Sciences, in cooperation with Women’s Research and Studies Center and Ministry of Interior and was held under the patronage of the Undersecretary of the Ministry of the Interior Lieutenant General Sulaiman Al-Fahad and attending the event was Sheikh Faisal Al Nawaf Al-Sabah, Assistant Undersecretary of the Ministry of the Interior.
The ‘Against Violence...With Tolerance’ forum was held at Kuwait University’s College of Social Sciences and was supported by a number of local governmental organizations such as ‘Protecting Child’ National Higher Committee and the Ministry of Health. Additionally, related organizations and centers from the United Arab Emirates participated in the forum this year.
This theme of this year’s forum was ‘Protecting Youth from Crime and Deprivation.’ As such there were several sessions related to the the theme, they were: anger management for youth; protecting society from violence and crime; developing a culture of social responsibility for youth; and electronic crimes. The call to practice tolerance was written into the identity of the United Nations 70 years ago. While people are undoubtedly more connected and more diverse, intolerance is growing in many places. The need and importance of tolerance cannot be understated, it must be taught, nurtured, and defended. Gulf Bank’s support for the International Day of Tolerance is part of its corporate social responsibility program of supporting important events and causes.
