APEXSCI International University, represented by the esteemed Vice President Dr. Mishal bin Yasin Al-Muhallawi, participated in the 6th International Brussels Forum for the Culture of Peace on April 28 and 29, 2023, in the heart of the Belgian capital and the European Union, Brussels, along with the Culture of Peace exhibition for visual arts and Arabic calligraphy, organized by the European Arab Organization for Cultural Exchange in Belgium and the World Council for Human Rights in coordination with several global organizations and institutions.
This step comes within the framework of the ongoing fieldwork of the European Arab Organization for Cultural Exchange in Belgium to promote a culture of tolerance, coexistence, peace, acceptance of others, and the rejection of violence and racism, as well as combating hate speech and extremism, and confronting groups and forces that promote violence. These are key components of a roadmap that contributes to spreading the culture of peace, values of tolerance, elevating the principles of human brotherhood, and achieving prosperity and development for the peoples and countries of the world.
