14th Feb 2010 Student Interfaith Forum

As part of its Student Interfaith Project, the National Union of Students (NUS) is hosting 6 National Student Interfaith Forums. Apply now to secure your place.

The NUS Student Interfaith project aims to improve the experiences of students of faith at further and higher education by increasing students' unions awareness of the needs of students of faith through support, information and training; and developing strong inter-faith collaboration between students to enhance campus cohesion by creating space for interfaith dialogue and activities. 

Many students and students' union officers are active in building understanding about different religious communities, and improving relations betweens different faith groups on campus. As part of it's Student Interfaith Project NUS is hosting 6 National Student Interfaith Forums, throughout the duration of the project (October 2009 - September 2011). The first of which will be on Sunday 14th February at St Ethelburga's Centre for Peace and Reconciliation, in London.

The National Student Interfaith Forum is an opportunity for thirty students and officers actively leading interfaith initiatives at their university to network; share and develop ideas for interfaith events; gain new skills and knowledge (with workshops from interfaith practitioners); as well as support the NUS interfaith project in its development of training and resources for students' unions. The forum is free to attend and any travel to and from the event will be organised and paid for by NUS.

To apply students should request the application form and return it as soon as possible, to confirm they're interested in attending.

It is important students note there will be a selection process to ensure there are students from different universities and religious backgrounds attending. We cannot therefore guarantee that everyone who applies will be able to attend. Early application is therefore recommended.

If you would like further information about the Forum or Interfaith Project please don't hesitate contacting me.

All the best,

Kat
