Forum For Peace - London

The Forum for Peace UK hosted its 3rd roundtable on the Marrakesh Declaration at the Abu Bakr Mosque. Representatives included members of Southampton City Council, Southampton Council of Faiths, local Catholic Dioceses, Hampshire Constabulary, and the Bishop of Southampton.

Our fourth community roundtable takes us to the University of Birmingham. In partnership with the Edward Cadbury Centre for the Public Understanding of Religion, this session will convene leading academic voices to assess the role of the Marrakesh Declaration in academic circles.

Our next roundtable takes us to Abu Bakr Mosque, Southampton to discuss with young faith and civic leaders who have not engaged with the Marrakesh Declaration, in order to explore its use as a convening tool to discuss equal rights and positive engagement across communities.

Our second community roundtable took the Forum for Peace team to Preston. We convened senior local leaders who have led interfaith engagement for decades. In this inspiring session, we discussed successful models of local faith engagement that can be replicated more widely.

Our first roundtable took us to Leeds. The Forum for Peace UK team discussed local issues with young Muslims, including dynamics at school and in workplaces. Inspired by the Declaration, we considered what more we can do to help foster positivity in increasingly divisive times.

Since our Westminster launch for the Marrakesh Declaration Handbook in 2023, The Forum for Peace UK has conducted community roundtables across the UK to connect civic and faith leaders. The roundtables address the role of the Declaration in facilitating interfaith dialogue.

The unrest this week has been unsettling and deeply worrying. Yet interfaith relations remain strong. What was modeled below is happening throughout the UK, and that is reason for hope. thetimes.com/article/74ac19d…

Interesting to see that #accountability was the value our audience at @BradfordLitFest thought was most important to consider in a discussion on AI ethics. Previously #Truth came out on top in a similar discussion in London in December, and #Justice in Abu Dhabi earlier this year
