'Discovery' Theme for Interfaith Week

Monday July 15 2024

Scottish Interfaith Week will celebrate its 20th anniversary this year with a programme of events on the theme of ‘Discovery’.

The event takes place from November 11-18, including a National Interfaith Conference in Dundee on November 12. Local organisations throughout Scotland are encouraged to hold their own events, which they can register through the organisers and have listed on the Interfaith Week website.

Interfaith Scotland this week launched a digital toolkit, including advice on holding and promoting events, and graphics to use on social media. There are also resources for schools, including suggested interfaith activities and a video series of people from the main faiths answering questions about their religion and its practices, what it means to them and its impact on Scottish society.

Established by Interfaith Scotland in 2004, Scottish Interfaith Week provides an opportunity for interfaith groups, faith communities, schools, organisations and local communities across the country to celebrate Scotland’s religious diversity by planning events that bring people together to promote dialogue, understanding and co-operation between Scotland’s diverse religious communities and cultures.

The week has grown over the years and now incorporates around 100 events held across the whole of Scotland.
