Recruiting Presenters for 3ff Workshops - Autumn 2008

Are you a Christian, Jewish or Muslim student or young professional based in London?

Can you spare a few hours a month to inspire young people?

The Three Faiths Forum needs YOU! 

3ff is recruiting Jewish, Christian and Muslim presenters to share their views and beliefs in “Tools 4 Trialogue” workshops. We run free interfaith workshops called “Tools 4 Trialogue” in schools, colleges, youth groups and universities across London. The workshops look at extracts from the Tanakh, the New Testament and the Qur’an relating to stimulating themes, such as “Rebellion: Rebel with a cause” and “BLING – Beauty, Modesty and Clothing.”  A great opportunity to help young people better understand the three faiths and diversity in general.

For more information, please contact Debbie or call 020 7485 1390. 

We look forward to hearing from you.

Three Faiths Forum Middle East Launch - Tuesday 24th June 2008

3ff is delighted to announce the Official Launch of Three Faiths Forum Middle East in Jerusalem this month. For more information about this exciting event please see our invitation.

Three Faiths Forum Middle East is already pioneering "Tools 4 Trialogue" programmes between young people of Jewish, Christian and Muslim backgrounds in Jerusalem.

The workshops will be conducted in Hebrew and Arabic and will initially target age groups of 14 – 24 years.  A youth project is underway for Christians and Muslims from Abu Tor, and Jewish youth from Talpiot, both in Jerusalem for joint sessions followed by an overnight trip. "Tools 4 Trialogue" will also serve a group of Muslim and Jewish students of social work who will use the project to enhance their understanding of issues of social welfare through the lens of religious texts.
