Hello everyone! We would all like to thank the ones who partook in our collaboration session with DebateForPeace MUN for participating! You were incredible and it was wonderful seeing you communicating with the international students and getting along!
We would also like to inform you about a dialogue DebateForPeace is hosting Sunday 2nd of June (tomorrow!) from 12:00-16:00 at Mosaiken, Porslinsgatan 3, Stora Salen, vån. 3:
You will get to learn about the challenges of inter-religious dialogue from a Jewish-Muslim team from Israel and discuss why religion can be a difficult topic to open up, some of the stereotypes we may hold, and how to finally break down the barriers that can seem to separate groups while still maintaining our own unique identities. Moreover, you will discuss some of the complexities that can be involved with interreligious dialogue (for example disentangling the Israeli-Palestinian conflict during Jewish-Muslim communication), and how to take on the most taboo topics using a methodology of trying on the other person's position. Finally, you will discuss similarities in how people use religion, and how we can use our own faith and heritage as a force for improving our communities and the world around us!
If you are interested in participating, please e-mail Adrian Kaba through [email protected] until 10:00 tomorrow!
