Religion remains a powerful societal force in many parts of the world. Tensions arise not only in an inter-faith or intra-faith context, but also between religious and secular groups. Dialogue efforts aimed at the mitigation of conflict or reconciliation need to include representatives of both religious and secular groups.
Currently we are not running any project under this thematic area.
We recognise the need for inclusive, multi-stakeholder action, and our activities focus on reaching a mutual understanding and exploring opportunities for collaboration and innovation.
