IRD Activities
- African Integration Interfaith Trips
In order to promote the human and religious dimension of African integration, the RJIA organises interfaith trips. Through these trips, the RJIA aims to promote West African integration, creating forums of exchange between young people, developing in them a culture of interreligious and interfaith dialogue in the service of peace and solidarity, fighting against discrimination based on sex, religion, national and ethnic origin, and promoting respect for the human and spiritual values of the peoples without distinction. Participants, aged 18-35, come from Togo, Benin, Burkina Faso, Mali, Côte d'Ivoire, Ghana etc. They are Muslims, Catholics, Protestants, Atheists, and Animists.
