With the UN gathering in New York, education officials from all around the world also came together to focus on global youth education, and individual student success stories.

Fethullah Gülen's message to the conference "Peacebuilding through Education"

Fethullah Gulen

Thank you for your kind invitation to the Peacebuilding through Education conference*, and I regret being unable to join you today. The theme you cover in this conference is a very dear one, and I feel very honored to be a part of it through The Fountain Magazine that continues to publish my essays. I have been penning my humble writings with hopes for a contribution, as much as an essay can go, to a greater good of our world, to a better understanding of the meaning of our lives, to a greater appreciation of being human – the best of creation – and to the promotion of mutual respect and tolerance among nations, and all the other values and high goals The Fountain aims to uphold in its pages and cherished not to a lesser degree by the co-sponsors of this conference.
