Participants may wish to consider the potential advantages of measures such as: encouraging multicultural youth groups and activities; fostering inter-ethnic dialogue between majority and minority youth; demonstrating respect for cultural, religious and linguistic heritage in all interactions with youth; and supporting the crucial role played by minorities in a multi-ethnic, democratic and diversified civil society. Participants may also wish to discuss how implementing minority rights can help to prevent conflicts and counter violent extremism, including among youth. Participants are invited to discuss how to motivate youth to become more active in their local communities and to promote minority rights as well as anti-discrimination and social cohesion policies. 6. Concluding remarks Participants will draw on the outcomes of the two days of discussion to reflect on the specific needs of minority youth to enable them to fully enjoy their rights to use their language, practise their religion and enjoy their culture, without discrimination, and on how minority youth can act as agents of positive change for peaceful, stable and more tolerant societies. The participants will draw and refine a number of recommendations to States, intergovernmental organizations, non-governmental organizations and civil society, for the promotion and fulfilment of minority rights among and by minority youth as they relate to each item of the present agenda. The Chair of the Forum on Minority Issues and the Special Rapporteur on minority issues will make concluding remarks, including proposals for follow-up steps to be taken with Forum participants. 4
