Intercultural & Religious Dialogue Activity Report 2019

Intercultural & Religious Dialogue

The EPP Group Intercultural and Religious Dialogue activities aim to promote mutual understanding and an active sense of European citizenship for a peaceful living together. Decision makers are called to provide answers to the complex crisis with political, economic, religious and cultural implications in Europe.

'Intercultural and Religious Dialogue’ does not mean theological discussions in the European Parliament. It is about listening to people from the sphere of religion and exchanging views with representatives of academia, governments, European Institutions on issues of common interest or
concern and in connection to religion and intercultural relations.

The EPP Group organises a wide range of events on a regular basis:

  • EPP Group Annual Dialogue with Religions and Cultures;
  • Monthly Working Group meetings;
  • Visits of religious leaders from the Middle East, Africa and Asia;
  • Conferences on current affairs related to religion (Religious radicalisation, Persecution of religious minorities, etc...);
  • Seminars on relevant topics with the participation of experts from EU and non-EU countries.
