Interfaith Consultation Network
Several religious leaders of majority and minority groups act as volunteer consultants for national institutions of a certain country or try to resolve conflicts between groups. The individuals and groups will be able to advice on how to approach their communities and transmit knowledge about cultures and traditions in their respective beliefs. Through this, bridges are built and contact among groups and between the executive and citizens becomes more trustful.

Organization of Informal Dialogue Meetings
People from different backgrounds meet each other in a fixed setting, i.e. coffee shops, at universities, schools, homes or online to engage in dialogue, usually on a regular basis. Through dialoguing, personal relationships may be built, especially through meeting in an informal setting, as this makes it easier for the participants to open up towards the other. Any individual or group with proper interest can organize such a meeting.
