Inter Faith Week 2012

WHEN? 

Inter Faith Week 2012 takes place from Sunday 18 to Tuesday 27 November. 

WHAT?

Inter Faith Week:

▪ Highlights the good work done by local faith, inter faith and faith-based groups and organisations
▪ Draws new people into inter faith learning and cooperation
▪ Enables greater interaction between people of different backgrounds
▪ Helps develop integrated and neighbourly communities
▪ Celebrates diversity and commonality
▪ Opens new possibilities for partnership

WHY?

Building good relationships and working partnerships between people of different faiths and beliefs is part of the year-round work of many people and organisations across the UK.

Having a special week provides a focal point, helping to open inter faith activity up to a wider audience so that more and more people are made aware of the importance of this vital work and are able to participate in it.

The three aims of the Week in Cardiff are:

▪ Strengthening good inter faith relations at all levels

▪ Increasing awareness of the different and distinct faith communities in Cardiff, in particular celebrating and building on the contribution which their members make to the city’s neighbourhoods and to wider society

▪ Increasing understanding between people of religious and non-religious beliefs

WHO? 

Inter Faith Week is for everyone. Some of the many kinds of organisations who have participated in previous weeks in the UK include:

▪ faith communities and their places of worship
▪ community and voluntary groups

▪ youth groups

▪ local authorities and other public agencies
