Events Across Scotland for Interfaith Week

Wednesday October 30 2024

Events including conferences, poetry and music festivals, walks and fun days will take place across Scotland to mark the 20^th Scottish Interfaith Week next month.

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 centrepiece of the week is a National Interfaith Conference in Dundee on November 12, but faith and interfaith groups from throughout the country have been encouraged to register their own events.

Among the events are:

An Interfaith festival in Edinburgh on November 12, 11am-2pm

A Civic Reception in Glasgow City Chambers on November 13, 5.30-7pm

A multicultural gathering jointly hosted by the Fife Centre for Equalities and Fife Interfaith and Belief Network in Kirkcaldy, also on November 13

An online lunchtime event discussing climate action and the goal of planting a thousand trees in the World Interfaith Harmony Grove, on November 14

A ‘power of discovery’ event in Lerwick, exploring the faiths and beliefs of people in Shetland, on November 14 from 7.30-9pm
