Inter Faith Week 2021 – What’s On?

Inter Faith Week (14th – 21st November) is fast approaching, and here at the Faith & Belief Forum, we have a range of events to get involved in the weeks festivities and spirit! This is a time when the spotlight is on the huge impact that faith and belief communities make to our society, and on the work for interfaith understanding, cooperation and relationships in the UK.

The aims of Inter Faith Week are to

• Strengthen good interfaith relations at all levels
• Increase awareness of the different and distinct faith communities in the UK, in particular celebrating and building on the contribution which their members make to their neighbourhoods and to wider society
• Increase understanding between people of religious and non-religious beliefs

There is a wide range of events to get involved with, such as walks, workshops, cooking and art classes, competitions and much more – including many from F&BF!

Read on to find out what F&BF are doing for Inter Faith Week, and how you can get involved.
