December 5, 2017 | 12:00 pm - 5:00 pm

| German House

Event Navigation


Religion is an important source of understanding, peace and stability for many people. National governments and the international community should therefore consider measures to strengthen the potential of religious actors to support peace and build bridges. In this spirit, the German Federal Foreign Office launched the “Responsibility of Religions for Peace” initiative earlier this year.

This conference will bring together religious leaders, civil society representatives, policymakers and representatives of multilateral organizations. It seeks to identify the main challenges to cooperation across different religions and the conditions for effective cooperation in the future.
