Inter-faith dialogue programme launched

Face to Faith, a programme of Tony Blair’s Faith Foundation, which features video conferencing between groups of young people of different faiths from around the globe, was launched here in Hyderabad Sind.

Education managers, teachers and trainers attended the orientation workshop held for the launch. Danish Jatoi, the country coordinator of the foundation, said the programme aimed to increase religious literacy among students of different faiths, beliefs and cultures and also to foster tolerance among them. The programme encourages understanding of world religions and steers discussions on a variety of issues, convening inter-faith dialogue, he explained.
The interacting groups establish an online community through video conferencing while an expert facilitator supervises the discussions among the young students.
