This is the First Interfaith Live-in Weekend organised in the Victorian High Country. It is an explorative event, which will help creating a model, with recommendations for future organisers of interfaith live-in weekends. The Weekend is co-organised by the Unity in Diversity Inc, Australian Association for Religious Education (Vic), Hindu Foundation of Australia and Islamic Council of Victoria, with the support of a large number of umbrella organisations of Victorian faith communities, Victorian and international interfaith networks, educational institutions, etc. This annual event is a part of the initiative of the Unity in Diversity Inc. to develop eco-harmony-heritage-culture tourism in the Victorian High Country.
