In the opinion of Turkey's Deputy Prime Minister Tugrul Turkes, a political and administrative approach should be adopted to enable the youth to raise their voices in each and every platform.

He emphasized the importance of improving intercultural relations and promoting a culture of peace among the youth for an effective struggle against extremism.

In addition, UN officials have urged local communities and non-governmental actors to develop strategies to help address conflicts in a non-violent way while promoting tolerance and peace.

Youth Solidarity Fund and Young Peacebuilders in West Africa were cited as examples of youth-led programs developed under the UNAOC umbrella to raise awareness about the danger of sectarianism, extremism and radicalization.

Established in 2008, the Youth Solidarity Fund provides direct funding to outstanding projects that promote the youth's participation in and contribution to intercultural and interfaith dialogue.

Young Peacebuilders in West Africa, guided by the principle that youth are key actors to achieve peace, is an educational program that enhances the ability of young people to foster mutual respect, understanding and long-term positive relationships between peoples of different cultures and religions.

UNAOC officials said that the programs were developed in a way that could be replicated in other regions around the world.
