Shared Futures

Interfaith socio-economic cooperation for peace

Kerk in Actie wishes to contribute to a just and peaceful society by applying a balanced view of the role of religion in sustainable development. Shared Futures is the name of the program in which we enable young people and their communities to build their own futures and to contribute to the common future. Together, youth from different faith groups are trained and supported to improve their individual employment perspectives and to improve the social cohesion in their community. Shared Futures is developed based on our long history of working with faith actors and civil society organizations to support marginalized people suffering from violence and exclusion.
