The emphasis is on the importance of engagement across beliefs and cultures, the different generations and segments of population, and the diverse interests of people in a digital and interconnected world. The policy officials, religious leaders, scholars and society-at-large will be able to better appreciate the search for common ground and harmony, thereby strengthening their endeavours for coexistence.The book seeks to continue the conversations and deliberations at the International Conference on Cohesive Societies (ICCS) held from 19 to 21 June 2019 in Singapore. The three themes of the ICCS — Faith, Identity, Cohesion — stimulated significant discussions on the need for mutual respect, trust and understanding of each other's beliefs and cultures. Many ideas on the ways forward were raised and further discourse is necessary.An unprecedented line-up of academic, civil society, government, intellectual, policy, religious and youth leaders provided a wide array of perspectives on challenging issues faced by diverse societies around the world. The transcripts of the official speeches elucidate the vision of leadership and aspiration looking ahead. The book also features delightful photographs and graphic recordings of the key thrust articulated during the ICCS.<b>Contents:</b> <ul><li>About the International Conference on Cohesive Societies</li><li>About the Editors</li><li>Foreword</li><li>Faith, Identity, Cohesion: Building a Better Future</li><li>Formal Speeches</li><li><b><i>Faith:</i></b><ul><li>Insights</li><li>Identity</li><li>Cohesion</li><li>Youth</li></ul></li><li>The International Conference on Cohesive Societies 2019</li><li>In Closing</li></ul><br><b>Readership:</b> Academia; Policy practitioners; Community leaders; Civil society organisations and General Public.International Conference on Cohesive Societies ICCS;Interfaith;Cohesive Societies;Social Cohesion;Interreligious Dialogue;Interreligious;Interfaith Work;Social Harmony;Racial Harmony;Religious Harmony;Faith;Identity Issues;Cohesion0<b>Key Features:</b><ul><li>Featuring high-profile speakers and world leaders, this book will serve as a compendium of insights and experiences on social cohesion among diverse societies.
