Study Visit
2-6 December 2024 | Malta, Malta
Theme:
We want to take on a journey through faith, belief and how to build projects to encompass different perspectives in youth & community projects.
Religion is often seen as a source of difference and conflict, but does it have to be that way? By perceiving interfaith dialogue as a positive resource and engaging in it meaningfully, we can build bridges across diverse communities, promote understanding, respect and peace.
What is interfaith dialogue and how can YOUth work address it is important question that we want to tackle with this study visit.
We want to create space for inspiration & reflection and look into ways to build constructive dialogue and analyse our own and the role of youth work in fostering positive interactions among individuals with different religious, faith or spiritual beliefs.
This study visit will guide participants through interfaith dialogue and youth work approaches and practices in Malta and what we can learn from it.
During the activity we will hear experts, visit local projects and meet organizations working on interfaith dialogue, community and peace building to see and discuss challenges and good practices in our work. This will allow us to have a closer look at the basic elements of interfaith dialogue, its potential and limits, as well its value and relevance today for young people in Malta and in the countries of participants.
We’ll explore different layers and different dynamics of interfaith dialogue, issues of religious discrimination, religion and politics.
We want to discuss the pressing matters and challenges affecting interfaith dialogue and get inspired to make our programmes and organisations more inclusive and embracing of human differences.
Aim of the study visit
