Interfaith Institute for Justice, Peace and Social Movements (II)

The Interfaith Institute is a leadership development and support program for people of faith involved in social movements for justice and peace. The institute brings together faith-based activists and leaders to build interfaith solidarity and mobilization, and to explore the interconnections between religion, spirituality, violence, conflict transformation, and just peace. Two guiding threads undergird the program: the role of women, children and youth in conflict and peacemaking; and Indigenous environmental logic and knowledge of place.
