The Higher Committee of Human Fraternity addressed the EU Parliament on May 20 in a forum chaired by MEP Antonio López-Istúriz White, urging global action against radicalism through ethics-based education.
“Education must evolve — from simply transmitting knowledge to cultivating ethical, engaged global citizens.”
— H.E. Ambassador Dr. Khalid Ghanim Al Ghaith, Secretary-General of the Higher Committee of Human Fraternity
And the main messages were as follows:
✅ Coexistence starts in the classroom
✅ 30% of youth feel disconnected at school
✅ Ethics and empathy are essential in every curriculum
“Education is an act of hope. It is a means of bringing about a culture of encounter and peace.”
— Pope Francis
The Committee continues to advocate education as a pathway to unity and peace.
