3rd European Policy Dialogue Forum on Refugees and Migrants (19–20 October)
The 3rd European Policy Dialogue Forum on Refugees and Migrants builds on the two previous Forums. It focuses on the ways in which religious organizations, policymakers and recent arrivals to Europe can encourage the participation of refugees and migrants in developing more inclusive societies in Europe.
High-Level Dialogue on Social Cohesion (21 October)
The need for structured exchanges between religious leaders and policymakers is becoming more pressing. Polarising influences are challenging the social cohesion of Europe and rising mistrust against minorities. In high-level dialogues, religious leaders and policymakers will address ways to counter hate speech.
In order to ensure effective inclusion and participation, KAICIID believes organizations need to build the capacity of people seeking refuge to approach integration proactively and from a position of empowerment, equipped with dialogue skills.
30-31 October 2019
KAICIID brought together more than 190 faith leaders, policymakers, state actors, civil society representatives, journalists, educators and dialogue practitioners in Vienna, Austria to discuss ways of preventing and countering the growing global phenomenon of hate speech. The conference saw the participation of leading representatives of Buddhist, Christian, Hindu, Jewish, Muslim, and other faith communities who gathered to speak up and raise public awareness of the need to prevent and delegitimise hate speech.
