Al Faisal Social Responsibility Centre will organise the first international conference on social responsibility in Qatar which will take place at the Qatar National Convention Centre from March 26 to 28.
The conference, under the banner “Reality and Future Outlook”, will be inaugurated by Sheikh Faisal bin Qassim al-Thani.
Some of the topics that will be discussed include Social Responsibility Foundations and Starting Points, Reality of Social Responsibility, and Future Outlook.
The conference will target key audiences including academics, researchers in educational institutions, graduate students, training institutions, media and marketing experts, opinion leaders in the community, civil society and charitable organisations, and social responsibility officials in the government and private sector.
The conference promises to be highly engaging and it is built around three pillars.
The first pillar traces the emergence of social responsibility and related concepts, trends and schools of thought embodying the philosophical values and objectives which it aims to achieve, and the impact they have on humanities.
The second focuses on the measurement of reality, knowledge of opportunities for communities, the internal and external challenges for social responsibility, moral obligation and the emergence of inter-relationships.
The third explores the reality of social responsibility and its role in the knowledge economy, how to avoid obstacles that prevent it from playing that role, and build strategic scenarios to deal with the horizon of social responsibility.
Inspired by its slogan “Stand up and leave your mark”, Al Faisal Social Responsibility Centre aims to build bridges between peoples and cultures of the world.
The centre also takes pride in being the first integrated centre in Qatar and the region. It is driven by the desire to foster the culture of community service and to build a better human being who is responsible for themselves and their development.  
An exhibition featuring companies, centres and individuals who are active in social responsibility initiatives will form part of the conference.
