Faithspace – Our Interfaith Hub
With the support of the Sternberg Foundation, Faithspace, an interfaith hub, was created by the 3ff at Star House. Faithspace provides office accommodation at a greatly reduced cost to new interfaith organisations focusing for the most part on young people. It also provides a fertile meeting place where ideas are freely discussed, challenged and refined. The current members of our hub are 3ff, Faith Matters and Interfaith Action. We are also fortunate to share the same office as the Anne Frank Trust UK (www.annefrank.org.uk), with whom we have a lively exchange of ideas and projects.

St Ethelburga’s Centre for Reconciliation and Peace was created from the ruins of a medieval church in the City of London which was destroyed by an IRA bomb in 1993. Its new aim is to promote practical understanding of the complex relationship between faith and conflict.
A programme of over 250 public and private events a year ranges from workshops led by leading peace-makers, through training in conflict transformation skills, to cultural events.

Culture, Faith and Youth Connective
The Culture, Faith, and Youth Connective is a network of organisations delivering interfaith and cross-cultural programs with youth in schools, colleges, universities, and youth groups.
The Connective's goal is to encourage young people to engage with each other through dialogue and community service projects, in a process that allows them to explore their own and each other’s identity. It also serves as a vehicle to enable the member organisations to work more cohesively, thus making their work accessible to the widest possible audience.
Organisations within the collective use a variety of methods to break down barriers and facilitate greater interaction, such as organising cultural events, social action projects, creative arts programmes, and using other non-formal educational tools. By offering a “menu” of programmes, the collective aims to enable young people and those working with young people to choose the programmes that best suit their needs.

Iraq In Common
Co-founded by Stephen Shashoua, Project Director of the Three Faiths Forum, and Huda Jawad, UK Programme Director of Forward Thinking, and launched in May 2006, Iraq in Common works to create a space for all young people of Iraqi origin to explore their identity, work collectively and interact socially.
Through inclusive and educational events and open discussions, Iraq in Common brings together a diversity of political, social and cultural realities to build a network with Iraq in common.
By doing so, we hope to unlock the potential to work towards a better future. The group’s aim is to serve to highlight and reinforce the strong and harmonious relationships which are achievable in Iraq.
Through seminars, cultural and social events, IiC enables young Iraqis to re-discover their cultural heritage and learn from their history to empower them to forge a peaceful and prosperous future.
