 "InterMu-Se"   Update - April 2025!

      Inter-religious coalition building
      against anti-Muslim hatred and
            anti-Semitism

 
 InterMu-Se held its second Interim Project Steering Committee  Meeting  in Paris, bringing together partners from across Europe.   Hosted by Coexister at Les Arches Citoyennes, the two-day meeting   offered space for reflection, shared learning, and coordinated planning   as the project reaches its halfway point.  One of the key moments  was   the presentation of findings from national research on intercultural and   inter-religious cooperation. Partners shared insights  from their own   contexts, highlighted challenges faced by religious communities and   the unique efforts underway to promote dialogue and mutual respect.   The findings have been compiled into a transnational report available   in five languages, with the aim of supporting future community   initiatives across Europe.  More

DCIF marks the UN Day of Peace with Conference on 'Building Peaceful and Resilient Communities in Our Cities'

This year, the Dublin City Interfaith Forum (DCIF) marked the UN Day of Peace by organizing a series of events that brought together peers and friends from Belfast, Birmingham, Edinburgh, and across Ireland. The program included a one-day conference hosted by the Lord Mayor of Dublin and focused on the role of faith communities in addressing challenges posed by polarization and division in community.  There were visits to various places of worship around the city, and a seminar exploring on the critical role that faith communities play in responding to the climate crisis. We extend our gratitude to all speakers, facilitators, volunteers, and guests for making these events possible..

SAFE
HAVEN NEWS!

When local community leaders, faith leaders and community gardaí come together to look at the issues of hate and extremism, it presents a rare opportunity to get to know one another, share experiences and reflect on the harm and impact whilst identifying areas of common concern.   Commencing on the 20th March 2025, attendees will start sessions from 5.30 pm. Over 6 weeks, Safe Haven training will help participants learn to:

  • Recognise – hate speech, hate crime, radicalisation and violent extremism;

  • Report – through statutory and non-statutory mechanisms such as the independent iReport, An Garda Síochána, Irish Human Rights & Equality Commission and Intergovernmental Agencies; Support – through interfaith activities, victim support referral, pastoral care, restorative practices and coalition-building.
