THE UNDERGRADUATE PARLIAMENTORS PROGRAMME (UP)

3ff is currently recruiting for its Undergraduate ParliaMentors (or UP) Programme, a unique initiative aiming to nurture future politicians and community leaders from the three Abrahamic Faiths.

Nine MPs from all three major parties each mentor a group of three students - one Christian, one Jewish and one Muslim - meeting with them on a monthly basis. With advice from their mentors, students develop projects focussing on themes such as political engagement and identity, whilst supported by key political NGOs and think tanks.

For a personal insight into UP programme, why not check out recent TriaBlogs by UP participants Yasmina Hedhli and Stav Shaffir.

Applications for Undergraduate ParliaMentors 2008-2009 are now closed, but for further details abour the programme please contact Daniella on up@threefaithsforum.org.uk.

DOCUMENTORS PROGRAMME

The Three Faiths Forum is offering the chance for second year students from Christian, Jewish and Muslim backgrounds to be mentored by leading film-makers.

There are currently 27 Christian, Jewish and Muslim students of politics being mentored together by MPs on the 3ff’s Undergraduate ParliaMentors programme.

It will be down to the DocuMentors team to chronicle this pioneering project over the next year, from the students’ interaction with each other and their ParliaMentors, to the teams’ ventures as they launch their political projects across London.

This programme is now full, but for more information about DocuMentors please contact Daniella on up@threefaithsforum.org.uk.
