Launched in March 2008, Three Faiths Forum Middle East is beginning to bring together young Jewish, Christian and Muslim Israelis for the purpose of sharing and exploring each other's religious identities.
Participants will come together in structured frameworks to study texts, explain and interpret them with the guidance of experienced facilitators. Currently Three Faiths Forum Middle East
is running two educational projects for 14-24 year olds:
- Residential programme for Christians and Muslims from Abu Tor, and Jewish youth from Talpiot (both in Jerusalem)
- Social work students looking at social welfare through the lens of religious text.
Three Faiths Forum Israel is for new partnerships in the region. We are already working with the Jerusalem Inter Cultural Centre, Trust EMUN and the Interfaith Encounter Association.
