“Bridges of Peace” at an International Conference on the Hizmet Movement in India

“Bridges of Peace” took part in the international academic conference held on 5 and 6 February in India, on the pivotal role of social movements in cultivating trust and cooperation in multicultural societies.

Together with academics and civil-society representatives from around the world, key issues were examined such as building trust among different communities, interfaith dialogue, multiculturalism and the creation of channels of communication.

In the course of the discussions it was highlighted that the Hizmet Movement transcends local borders, functioning as a strong global bridge of cooperation and mutual understanding. At the same time, various ways of strengthening social cohesion were analysed—from education and the cultivation of a culture of dialogue to shared social initiatives.
