Join us for an inspiring conference on interreligious cooperation for peaceful coexistence. The conference brings together policymakers, practitioners, academics, and representatives of (faith-based) organizations worldwide. Together, we will explore how interfaith entrepreneurship advances peace, social cohesion, and economic growth in fragile contexts. Experiences and evidence are drawn from the Shared Futures program in Kenya, Pakistan, Egypt, Cameroon, Ghana, Bangladesh and the Netherlands.

Discover how Shared Futures empowers young people from diverse religious and ethnic backgrounds to build understanding, strengthen social cohesion, and contribute to peaceful and sustainable communities.

We warmly invite you to be part of this conference!
