In the workshop, the participants were told how to use cultural and digital tools to counter violence and extremism.
The workshop was held from Wednesday to Friday, an American Center press release said.
The workshop preceded the Peaceniks Music Festival organised by the US Consulate General here and an NGO Banglanatak.com, a social organisation working in the spheres of art and culture, the release said.
Music bands from Nepal and folk groups from Bengal performed at the music festival which was held on Saturday.
The Deputy Director of American Center Jay Treloar said in the press release, "The American Center will continue our partnership with the 'Peaceniks' and work with them to create an online regional youth alliance for peace."
Treloar said, the US government is committed to promote regional peace and stability in this region to ensure prosperity, cross border trade and regional connectivity.
