Call for Applications

Cities for Inclusion Workshops

Are you willing to be actively engaged in promoting social cohesion in your community, neigbourhood, city?

As urban areas are increasingly the places where marginalised groups – particularly religious and ethnic minorities, as well as refugees and migrants - suffer discrimination and exclusion, the KAICIID Europe Region Programme has paid increasing attention to cities as the places where community members can be actively engaged in shaping solutions towards supporting social cohesion.

To this end, we wish to engage members of communities, neighbourhoods and cities – across religious, faiths, cultural and ethnic backgrounds and age groups - that are willing to explore ways to address the multiple challenges related to discrimination, social exclusion and hate speech. We, at the KAICIID Europe Region Programme, are eager to support you in designing and facilitating a dialogue experience that can improve the understanding of the problem by bringing the voices of those affected in a safe space where their concerns and views can be expressed and considered. By pooling the transformative power of interreligious dialogue, the intention is to enhance mutual understanding across religious, ethnic and social groups, while exploring opportunities for coordinated actions between religious and secular stakeholders, fostering reconciliation, peaceful coexistence and equity.

Eligible applicants should come from one of the 46 countries of the Council of Europe.
