Dialogue experts from the Vienna-based International Dialogue Centre (KAICIID) will provide training for the participants of the Parliament of the World’s Religions in Salt Lake City, United States, on the use of interreligious dialogue for peacebuilding.

The peacebuilding workshops, led by the KAICIID Senior Adviser, Mohammed Abu-Nimer, will bring together religious leaders working in countries in the midst of conflict to discuss the challenges of Interreligious Dialogue (IRD) in peacebuilding and the lessons from current efforts in the field.

KAICIID’s experts will also lead workshops in utilizing social media as a platform to promote peace and facilitate dialogue. And Parliament participants will be able to attend the Centre’s presentations on the recently launched Peace Map, an interactive database of over 400 organizations that work to promote interreligious dialogue around the world.

At the Youth Forum, the Centre will offer a workshop on IRD Games and a training specifically designed for Scouts. The KAICIID International Fellows Programme and the current work of its fellows will also be discussed at the Youth Forum, with representatives of the first generation of the fellows sharing their experiences in the field of IRD.
