What We Do

KAICIID fosters dialogue between people and communities who would not otherwise come into contact, but whose cooperation is essential to building effective, long-term solutions to global challenges. We’ve trained thousands of leaders worldwide to use dialogue to promote religious pluralism, uphold human rights, provide a voice for vulnerable groups, counter hate speech, protect holy sites, foster interfaith education and exchange, and build cohesive, inclusive communities. We’ve also harnessed the power of local platforms, which have the trust and expertise to effect sustainable change. At KAICIID, we use dialogue as both a means and an end: from the conception of strategy to the way we foster collaboration, to the way we work together with our partners to build peaceful, just societies.
