🕌 Respect Begins with a Word We invite you to take part in the International Interfaith Youth Forum in Moscow on 9 and 10 November. 🏫 The Ministry of Science and Higher Education of the Russian Federation is organising the forum at the Peoples’ Friendship University of Russia named after Patrice Lumumba. Speakers at the opening ceremony will include representatives of the Presidential Executive Office, the Russian Government and the Ministry of Science and Higher Education, alongside representatives of Orthodox Christianity, Islam, Buddhism and Judaism. At the plenary session, you’ll hear how people from different faith traditions answer the same question. You’ll then join a small group led by a religious studies scholar. You can share how your family’s traditions have shaped your beliefs, ask other participants about theirs and explore where your views meet or differ. If you’d like to host a similar conversation at your own university, you’ll have ready-to-use session plans and discussion materials. 📍 9 November, RUDN University. Registration opens at 09:30. The opening ceremony begins at 11:00, and the day’s programme ends at 18:00. 📍 10 November, Manege Central Exhibition Hall. Registration opens at 10:00. The session “Orthodox Christianity as the Foundation of Traditional Values, Russian Statehood and Russia’s Spiritual Sovereignty” runs from 11:00 to 12:30. Afterwards, you can visit the exhibition “Christian Tradition Today”. 🔗 Visit the forum website to see the full programme and find out how to register.
