The workshop “Blessed are the Peacemakers” by the Interorthodox Centre of the Church of Greece, with coordinators Kalliopi Mavragka, Dr. Christos Nasios and Sergios Voilas, was held on November 26th, 2024, within the framework of the international conference of the Faculty of Theology of the National and Kapodistrian University of Athens “Orthodox Theology in the 21st Century, Challenges & Perspectives”. It should be noted that at the Interorthodox Centre of the Church of Greece in 1976 the previous conference of the Faculty of Theology took place, the second one, and you can view the material HERE
The workshop we ran, focused on understanding and cooperation among religious communities, on building bridges of communication and peaceful coexistence through education, dialogue and the participation of civil society.
The workshop aimed to empower religious leaders, educators and community representatives with the necessary knowledge and skills to address xenophobia and promote tolerance in their respective communities. By adopting an approach that takes into account the religious beliefs and sensitization of community members, the workshop sought to create an environment conducive to interfaith dialogue, understanding and cooperation.
