The overall theme of the Forum, The Child is Calling: Interfaith Cooperation to Build a Hopeful World for Children, aims to ensure that the Forum is relevant, addresses current issues, and that the focus is fixed on eliciting hope and authentic participation from children in building a better world. The “Child is Calling” conveys the heart of what brings people together for the GNRC Sixth Forum and focuses us on answering the call of the child with concrete actions.
