From Erbil, Kurdistan Region of Iraq, partners reflect on the contribution of dialogue to peacebuilding. 🌍 As part of KAICIID’s field mission to Iraq, #Dialogue360 partners took part in group discussions exploring how locally led initiatives have contributed to #peacebuilding and stronger community relations. 🤝 The discussions highlighted the importance of building #trust across communities, creating spaces for #dialogue and mutual understanding, challenging stereotypes and misinformation, and strengthening local capacities to promote peaceful coexistence. Partners also reflected on how #Dialogue360 initiatives have supported community recovery, social cohesion, and cooperation among diverse religious, ethnic, and social groups, demonstrating the role that locally led efforts can play in strengthening relationships and fostering more inclusive communities. Building #peace begins with creating opportunities for people to meet, listen, understand one another, and work together across their differences. 🕊️ #KAICIID #Dialogue360 #Iraq #Erbil #Peacebuilding #InterreligiousDialogue #SocialCohesion

🌍 Why Dialogue Cities? Our cities bring together people from different religions, cultures, generations and backgrounds. While we may experience different realities and challenges, we share a common future. 💬 Dialogue creates opportunities to listen, understand one another, build trust and find solutions together. That’s why, from 26–28 October, representatives from Bangkok, Davao, Kuala Lumpur, Singapore and Yogyakarta will come together for the 3rd Southeast Asia Dialogue Cities Conference. Because stronger, more inclusive cities start with dialogue. 🤝 Organised by @KAICIID in collaboration with ACCIN Malaysia. 🔗 Learn more about the conference: kaiciid.org/stories/news/kua… #DialogueCitiesSEA #SoutheastAsia #KualaLumpur #InterreligiousDialogue #SocialCohesion

From 26-28 of October, Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, will bring together 5 Southeast Asian cities under the theme "Shared Futures: Dialogue for Resilient and Inclusive Cities". As cities become more diverse and face shared challenges, dialogue can help communities build trust, find common ground and work towards a more inclusive future.

They began as collaborators. They became #friends. Hind and Eidel’s story shows what happens when people from different backgrounds choose dialogue. Assumptions fade, trust grows and genuine connection follows. Dialogue bridges differences. Friendship helps those bridges last. ow.ly/JfPv50ZuIGP #InternationalDayofFriendship @mjlceurope

🤝 Dialogue continues to build bridges, long after the conversations end. 📍 Looking ahead to its 10th anniversary, members of the newly elected Muslim Jewish Leadership Council (MJLC) Board gathered in Paris, bringing together Imams and Rabbis from across Europe to reaffirm their shared commitment to #Dialogue, #ReligiousFreedom and social cohesion. 🏛️ During the meeting with @UNESCO Assistant Director-General for Culture, Nayef H. Al-fayez, the discussion focused on preserving places of worship, safeguarding shared heritage and advancing collaboration for more inclusive and resilient societies. 🕊️ Together, we continue to stand for #ReligiousFreedom, mutual respect and peaceful coexistence.
