Doha, 2009: Muslim Leaders of Tomorrow Set the Agenda
Highlights
- For the first time, Muslim Leaders of Tomorrow will author and sign a major document entitled “An Open Letter to the World Leaders of Today from the Muslim Leaders of Tomorrow”—a unique set of policy recommendations addressed to both Muslim and non-Muslim heads of state to be distributed across international media.
- The program will highlight some of the most critical issues facing Muslim communities around the world today, including the lack of unified religious authority, violent extremism, competing values, and effective media engagement.
- The conference’s “Marketplace of Ideas” will showcase multiple initiatives – founded and led by artists, philanthropists, social entrepreneurs, opinion leaders, civil society leaders, and religious leaders – that all aim positive change.
- The conclusion of the conference will feature a special edition of the BBC’s acclaimed “Doha Debates”, which will involve panels of MLTs and be moderated by Tim Sebastian.
This coming year, the MLT program will build on its success in the past three years and launch its global presence at a conference in Doha, Qatar on January 16-19, 2009. Sponsored by the Doha International Center for Interfaith Dialogue and in collaboration with Cordoba Initiative and the United Nations Alliance of Civilizations, ASMA has undertaken to broaden the MLT network to include dynamic Muslim leaders from Muslim-majority countries as well as from the West.
The Doha forum, entitled “Change from Within: Muslim Leaders of Tomorrow Set the Agenda,” will launch the MLT program on a global scale and empower the MLT network further with a combination of practical media trainings, networking and plenary sessions designed to tackle common Muslim challenges with collective Muslim solutions.
The MLT program will also introduce several new elements for streamlining the global MLT network, including global chapter development, an online MLT portal and an MLT one-to-one mentorship program for sharing best practices.
In addition to furthering the development of the MLT network, the 2009 conference will feature several exciting events, including the presentation of an “Open Letter to the World Leaders of Today from the Muslim Leaders of Tomorrow,” an edition of the BBC’s “Doha Debates” series and the unveiling of a “Hope Tapestry” commemorating the visions of each MLT attendee for a better future.
