Project Summary:

This project seeks to promote interfaith understanding amongst young adults. Former students from Christian, Jewish and Islamic schools in Melbourne will be involved.

The materials will be used to train young people as facilitators. Year 10 and 11 students from several schools will discuss faith issues with assistance from the trained facilitators. A final gathering will be held to allow the participants to present their findings.
