The Role of Interfaith in International Relations and Peace Building

The Role of Interfaith in International Relations and Peace Building.

“Let us create a laboratory for dialogue to open minds and possibilities for peace”

This dialogue is the first in a series that will explore the role of religion, morality and interdisciplinary perspectives in addressing current moral, humanitarian and peace challenges facing our world. These seminars will take the view that the best solutions to these challenges can emerge if the diverse perspectives of spiritual leaders, scholars, diplomats, government leaders, experts in geopolitics and leaders of NGOs can be combined.

Location: Seminar Location Building 12 (law Building) Monash University, Clayton, Corner Wellington Rd. & Ring Rd. East, Clayton (Melway reference 70 11F)

The expected outcomes of these dialogues are:

• To explore the role of faith traditions to addressing humanitarian and peace challenges.
• To formulate proposals to address these challenges by including interdisciplinary perspectives; regional and international perspectives; religious perspectives and NGO perspectives.
