Dialoguer autour des récits interreligieux – Colloque de C.I.E.U.X. à Stockholm (15-18 mai)
“Telling the interfaith story”, Fryshuset, Stockholm 16-18th of May, 2014
The programme “Telling the interfaith story”
The programme “Telling the interfaith story” is an initiative between 7 organizations from 3 European countries that works in the field of diversity, dialogue and respect for differences. The activities of these organizations has sprung out of the need of more effectively counter-act the signs of divide that has become more and more aware in our respective context. We believe that cooperation between organizations with joint interests are important for being able to conduct our work as effective as possible. Therefore these seven organizations from the countries of France, Great Britain and Sweden has decided to meet, learn from each other, and create a common platform from which our work will be able to gain both strength and effect. The meeting that takes place during three days in Sweden has been preceded by regional pre-meetings among the organizations. The initiative also has a capacity-building aim, especially in the field of messaging and media.
The organizations forming this joint initiative are:
Sweden: Together for Sweden and Swedish Young Dharmis and Ashavanis
Great Britain: Three Faiths Forum, St Ethelburga’s Centre for Reconciliation and Peace and Media Diversity Institute
France: A.C.I.P and CIEUX
A part of this initiative takes place in the form of a conference in Sweden in May of 2014 where the participants will create a common ground for future action and activities.
