SUMMARY:Panel Discussion: The Role of Religious Leaders in Peacebuilding in the Middle East
DESCRIPTION:The United Nations Alliance of Civilizations (UNAOC) is organizing a panel discussion on “The Role of Religious Leaders in Peacebuilding in the Middle East”. The event will take place on 18 July 2017 at the United Nations headquarters\, New York. The opening session will feature the United Nations Secretary-General\, the Minister of Foreign Affairs and Cooperation of Spain\, the High Representative for the United Nations Alliance of Civilizations and three religious leaders representing the three monotheistic religions of the Holy Land – Muslim\, Jewish and Christian. \nThe panel discussion will serve as a follow-up to the November 2016 Summit of Religious Leaders for Peace in the Middle East\, held in Alicante\, Spain – an initiative facilitated by the Spanish Government and co-sponsored by UNAOC. \nThe stability of the Middle East region is crucial to the peace and stability of the world. The fifty long years of the Arab-Israeli conflict have fueled cycles of violence and retribution. Moreover\, the prolonged conflict has been misappropriated and exploited by extremist groups and elements. \nIn this context\, religious leaders in the Holy Land play a key role in peacebuilding through promoting peaceful co-existence and tolerance as well as providing a counter-narrative to violent extremism. \nReligious ideologies continue to carry great weight with a vast majority of people throughout the Middle East. For some\, this may pose a challenge for peace and stability. But it may also provide an opportunity for a solution. As such\, public discourse within and between Jewish and Muslim religious leaders who promote the culture of peace inherent in these religions\, maybe a way forward to ease the political tension in the Holy land. \nWith such influence within their respective communities\, religious leaders play a role in building trust and mutual understanding. They summon their communities to live in peace side by side in the Holy Land. \nThis initiative is based on the assumption that true peace between Israelis and Palestinians is possible when mutual trust exists between them. The goal of the initiative is to prepare the hearts and minds for true peace in the Middle East by involving religious leadership from both sides who voice a common message of peaceful coexistence as an essential element for building and sustaining peace.

SUMMARY:10th GFMD Summit - UNAOC Side Event: "Fostering Migrant Integration Through Innovative Civil Society Actions"
DESCRIPTION:As part of its work toward a more peaceful\, more socially inclusive world\, the United Nations Alliance of Civilizations (UNAOC) has researched and explored how different actors in society can work together to find concrete solutions towards a better integration of newcomers – refugees\, asylum-seekers\, and migrants pursuing family reunification\, education or employment – within our modern societies.  \nThroughout its various programs and initiatives\, UNAOC has brought together journalists\, media experts\, academics\, civil society organizations\, youth and young leaders\, policy makers\, representatives of governments and international organizations\, educators\, migrants\, as well as the business community\, including tech companies\, to come up with global recommendations to help integrate immigrants and refugees into more welcoming societies. \nThis endeavor stems from the understanding that regional and domestic civil society initiatives are among the most creative and innovative when it comes to creating conditions that are conducive to the integration of newcomers. Civil society initiatives are often designed by communities that are directly impacted and affected by the arrivals of new groups.   \nIn this context\, civil society organizations can help promote non-discrimination\, provide training\, foster trust and engage communities. They can also act as trusted reporters providing valuable information on incidents and delivering effective strategies and campaigns\, as they often have experience in developing methods\, definitions\, and indicators related to migration.  \nAs part of its side event at the 10th GFMD Summit Meeting\, and on the margins of Roundtable 3.2\, “Strengthening Cooperation – Enabling Civil Society Contributions in Migrant Integration\,” UNAOC will showcase the work of various civil society organizations that have received its Intercultural Innovation Award\, a joint initiative between UNAOC and BMW Group that aims to select and support innovative grassroots projects which encourage intercultural dialogue and cooperation around the world\, making vital contribution to prosperity and peace. \nFormat: \nPresentations by civil organizations representatives and/or beneficiaries will take the format of a TED talk: each presentation will be concise (7-10 minutes maximum) with a focus on lessons learned and recommendations. Each speaker will present standing and will be encouraged to use visual elements (video\, photos\, etc.) to keep the audience engaged.  \nRead moreHide text \nAbout the Side EventSide Event FlyerSpeakersDownload (PDF\, 174KB)

SUMMARY:Workshop: Muslim Humanitarian and Development Organizations in and around Conflict Zones: Barriers to and Opportunities for engagement
DESCRIPTION:The workshop is co-organized by the United Nations Alliance of Civilizations – as Lead for the UN Interagency Task Force on Religion and Development – in partnership with the European Commission\, the British Council and the\, the Georgia State University. It will be held on 22-23 May 2017 at the UN Headquarters\, Conference Room 9. \n\nA Closed-Door Dialogue and Focus Group \nThis year\, in partnership with the British Council and the United Nations Alliance of Civilizations -­‐ as Lead for the UN Interagency Task Force on Religion and Development -­‐ the Civic Approaches to Conflict in the Muslim World Initiative at Georgia State University will convene leaders in the humanitarian and development sectors. The discussion will consider ways that the Muslim development and aid sector can be more robustly engaged to address the shared challenges facing the international community. In doing so we also aim to build trust and share knowledge between non-government\, faith-based actors working with American\, European and Middle Eastern policymakers. \nUnder the auspices of the Civic Approaches framework\, we have explored the ways in which civil society organizations and networks in Muslim societies have mitigated\, prevented\, or helped stabilized various forms of conflict and violence. Our focus groups and case studies have investigated topics such as the Syrian refugee crisis\, Islamic sectarian violence\, and radicalization. Our recently published report\, Civic Approaches to Confronting Violent Extremism\, is a good representation of the kind of sector- wide research we produce. \nThe meeting in NYC is a continuation of smaller focus groups conducted last year in Istanbul\, Washington D.C.\, and Brussels. We believe that your experience with the issues we are exploring\, especially in your role with the UN Inter-Agency Task Force on Engaging Faith-Based Organizations for Development\, will add tremendous depth to the discussion and the final report to be published in August 2017. \n\nConcept Note \nDownload (PDF\, 224KB)
