National Student Interfaith Forum

Sunday 14 February 2010, 11.30am – 5pm

St Ethelburga’s Centre for Peace & Reconciliation, London

NUS’s Student Interfaith Project aims to improve the experiences of students of faith at further and higher education by increasing students’ unions awareness of the needs of students of faith through support, information and training; and developing strong inter-faith collaboration between students to enhance campus cohesion by creating space for inter-faith dialogue and activities.

As part of this project NUS is organising the first National Student Interfaith Forum, which will meet six times over the course of the project (October 2009 – September 2011).

Many students and students’ union officers are active in building understanding about different religious communities, and improving relations between different faith groups on campus. The forum will bring these students together to provide the opportunity for them to network; share and develop ideas; gain new skills and knowledge; as well as support the NUS interfaith project develop training and resources for students' unions.
The first National Student Interfaith Forum is taking place on Sunday 14th February, at St Ethelburga’s Centre for Peace and Reconciliation in London. The event is free to attend and travel will be organised and paid for by NUS. Please note future Forum events will not all take place in London.
