Dialog-konference i Abu Dhabi 14. - 17. april 2006
Arrangørerne siger om konferencens formål, at "The program seeks to plant the seeds of understanding between two different traditions, but not by relativizing those differences, but rather by conceding them in the spirit of genuine tolerance". Fra dansk side deltager 20 unge og 5 pressefolk og akademikere, udpeget af Dansk Ungdoms Fællesråd.
