The degree of diversity and the pace of change in our modern world often leads to insecurity, suspicion and even conflict. The world needs people who are capable of dialogue. And genuine dialogue can only happen between people who can respect each other’s belief, culture and traditions.

The Institute responds to this need by: promoting diversity as positive and good, by challenging prejudice, ignorance and intolerance at all levels and making connections across cultures and faith with individuals, schools and communities. To this end we offer courses and training designed to help negotiate the turmoil that change engenders and to generate appropriate solutions/responses to the challenges thrown up by globalisation.
