International Foundation for Interreligious and Intercultural Education (IFIIE) aims to promote academic research and education around interreligious and intercultural dialogue.
Its objective is to further the search for common values among members of different cultural and religious backgrounds,in a cross cultural perspective, in the belief that this is the only way to make dialogue both appealing and genuine.
In order to reach this goal, IFIIE facilitates international conferences and seminars on topics selected to further the search for positive pluralism and common values. It participates in international projects with other organizations to enhance a broader understanding of dialogue and encounter and it grants fellowships to individuals belonging mainly to Christianity, Judaism, and Islam willing to deepen their knowledge and understanding of other religions.
IFIIE operates as a Think Thank for advocacy activities in areas such as education and religious issues.In this manner, IFIIE strives to promote an awareness of the common values lying behind diversity
IFIIE has an experience in Italy and at an international level which is willing to share with the other participants of ALF.
IFIIE is looking forward to creating relationships with other organizations and foundations working for Intercultural Citizenship formal and non formal Education and entering a network where to share its best practices and to learn from the other members’ achievements and experiences. The possibility of interacting at the Euro-Mediterranean level definitely encourages the search for common values and answers to similar problems while respecting the differences.
