Interesting to see that #accountability was the value our audience at Bradford Literature Festival thought was most important to consider in a discussion on AI ethics. Previously #Truth came out on top in a similar discussion in London in December, and #Justice in Abu Dhabi earlier this year

The unrest this week has been unsettling and deeply worrying. Yet interfaith relations remain strong. What was modeled below is happening throughout the UK, and that is reason for hope. thetimes.com/article/74ac19…

Since our Westminster launch for the Marrakesh Declaration Handbook in 2023, The Forum for Peace UK has conducted community roundtables across the UK to connect civic and faith leaders. The roundtables address the role of the Declaration in facilitating interfaith dialogue.

Our first roundtable took us to Leeds. The Forum for Peace UK team discussed local issues with young Muslims, including dynamics at school and in workplaces. Inspired by the Declaration, we considered what more we can do to help foster positivity in increasingly divisive times.

Our second community roundtable took the Forum for Peace team to Preston. We convened senior local leaders who have led interfaith engagement for decades. In this inspiring session, we discussed successful models of local faith engagement that can be replicated more widely.

Came across this incredible venture based in the UK that creates much needed economic opps in conflict impacted countries like Afghanistan. Kudos to instagram.com/ishkar.co?igsh… ISHKAR
