Inter Faith Week 2011
Posted by: Rosemary, 20 October 2011
National Inter Faith Week takes place this year from Sunday 20 to Saturday 26 November in England, Northern Ireland and Wales. Information about the Week can be found on the Inter Faith Week website.
The Week aims to strengthen good inter faith relations at all levels, and to increase awareness of the faith communities in the UK, celebrating and building on the contribution which their members make to their neighbourhoods and to wider society. It also aims to increase understanding between people of religious and non-religious beliefs.
Last year, the Week was marked in many schools and RE teachers played an important part in organising events such as classroom discussions in RE about inter faith relations; class visits to local places of worship; and exhibitions with stalls about different faith communities. A list of event ideas and resources developed by NATRE and NASACRE to aid schools in marking the Week are available here.
Events for the Week are being listed on the Inter Faith Week website. Both public and ‘closed’ events can be listed. We would be delighted to have details of any events you might be involved in organising. As well as helping show the breadth of involvement in the Week, listing of any event or events which you are planning to hold could also help inspire others to mark the Week.
Events can be listed either by completing the online form or by downloading the events listing form as a printable document. Closed events internal to institutions such as schools can be listed in such a way which makes this clear.
If you have an enquiry about the Week or would like to discuss a possible project or event, please call Mr Ashley Beck on 0207 931 7766 or email enquiries@interfaithweek.org.
