We are in a race to invest in the hearts and minds as well as the capabilities of the youth...We have to empower young people to fight the war for their own future, by providing them with the tools to address their generation through electronic communication platforms. They need to form intellectual networks and alliances that can reach out to members of their generation and lead the youth’s public opinion to adopt values of coexistence, respect for diversity and rejection of violence.
