They shared personal and professional experiences, highlighting the importance of qualities such as confidence, independent thinking, and perseverance in achieving one’s goals.

The warm and trusting atmosphere of the meeting facilitated an open dialogue between generations - experienced professionals and young aspiring diplomats allowing participants to discuss the role of tolerance in shaping mature individuals and a harmonious society.
