A 15-minute podcast presented by our Programme Officer, Emily Gow, with two of the guest speakers from our November 2021 virtual conference, Faith & Belief 2040.
We speak to:
- Edwin Shuker, a businessman, Iraqi refugee and former asylum seaker to the UK, and now Vice-President of the Board of Deputies for British Jews
- Bushra Nasir CBE, Chief Executive of the Drapers' Multi-Academy Trust based in Romford.
We ask them about positive, practical examples of side-by-side interfaith work and educational interventions in schools, to bring people together with mutual understanding and respect in changing times, and help people to demonstrate moral courage in their lives.
We hear about examples such as Mitzvah Day in the Jewish faith community, and about the power of comparative religious education to help young people build resilience and confidence in times of conflict or in the face of resistance or lack of understanding.
