New OIC Memorial Day - Developing Strategies



On 16-17 May 2008 ICYF-DC and ISESCO held the OIC inter-governmental Meeting of high-level experts in the Istanbul Headquarters.

 

Thinkers Forum compiled a draft report on the "Massacres perpetrated against Muslim Communities throughout the 20th century" which was presented as a working paper for the OIC Inter-governmental Meeting of Experts.

 

The report is to be commissioned as an ICYF-DC official document and to analyze the common patterns behind the massacres, the impacts of these events on the general mindset of the Muslim communities and the historic lessons to be drawn out of them.

OIC Memorial Day
 

 
This initiative of ICYF-DC is part of an ongoing process of enhancing solidarity among youth of OIC countries and raising international awareness on critical issues of history and culture of this geography.

  
The task of the meeting was to set up a new OIC Memorial Day as a common date of commemoration of massacres perpetrated against Muslim communities in XX century and design cultural and educational programs and actions to draw out historic lessons from the tragic past while building brighter future.

 

Thinkers Forum aim to be a part of this process andwill endeavour to make a lasting contribution.
