“Youvo Lab,” IEMed Mobility Program of 2018 

The first project in this program is intended for young leaders seeking dialogue and freedom of expression. It will be held on March 22 in Barcelona.

This project, organized by the Blanquerna Observatory, includes stories and testimonials by young leaders of different religions and origins to promote individual freedom, freedom of expression, diversity and awareness, as well as creating and establishing influencers for future generations. The idea is to create a platform in which youths of different origins can share their stories about leadership and debate constructive solutions to fight extremism. Therefore, the event will consist of a Q&A format divided into three parts, or “Digital Dialogue Labs,” based on three topics: “Identity,” “Happiness” and “Future.”

The event will be held on March 22 at 10:00 a.m. at the Blanquerna School of Communication and International Relations in Barcelona.

The Blanquerna Observatory of Communication, Religion and Culture is an interdisciplinary space for research and increasing awareness about activities that links communication with religious phenomena. The Observatory follows trends in information on religion, religion’s presence in the media and, above all, new technologies, and the links between popular culture and spiritual and social aspects of society.

The IEMed Mobility Program of 2018 has made it possible for representatives from other entities forming part of the network to participate, including the Asociación Juvenil Inter, Jovesolides and Asociación Azarquiel.
