Aim
Facilitate 'living-together' in good harmony, making people aware of their religious or cultural differences, for a moment of fraternity and peace, in a local dialogue; develop civic education through dialogue and reduce the risk of xenophobia, which stems from a mutual ignorance; mobilise communities to facilitate a durable coexistence.
History
Since 2005, the Interreligious Committee for a Universal Ethics and against Xenophobia (C.I.E.U.X.) has been organising interreligious and civic dialogues in neighbourhoods between inhabitants and religious communities with places of worship.
IRD Activities
- Neighbourhood-based Dialogue
C.I.E.U.X. works to achieve 'living together' by organising meetings between the various religious and civic communities in the same district
- Interreligious Dialogue
In each locality, city, town, or neighbourhood meetings are prepared by religious communities who have a place of worship. Afterwards, intercommunity dialogue is established, enabling communities to get to know and appreciate each other, with respect for their differences
- Secular Dialogue
C.I.E.U.X. strives to reconcile the ethical projects of civic and religious communities and organises civic meetings open to persons of good will whether non-practicing believers, agnostics, or atheists. The goal is to deepen the ethical meaning of conduct that is respectful of human rights, starting from their religious and secular foundation. For each and every person the goal is to become aware of the gap between one's external behaviour, which, in appearance, respects human rights, and one's private attitude, as quite often, these rights are applied out of self-interest and true feelings are masked: xenophobia, racism, fear, hatred, sectarianism, slander, denigration, indifference, impiety, pride, cruelty, cowardice, envy, greed, excess, etc.
