Announcement follows:
International Forum Bosnia, with a support from Swedish government, and in cooperation with numerous non-governmental and governmental organisations from Bosnia and Herzegovina and abroad will organise the International Conference entitled Unity and Plurality in Europe: Religion and Public Life (IC UPE:RPL). The Conference will be held in Mostar from 12th to 14th August 2007 as integral part of larger program titled as Stolac 2007. It will be organized around three roundtables (Unity and Plurality in Europe : Religion and Civil Society; The “Roma Question” in Europe ; Religion and Public Life).
The conference aim is to set in motion changes in knowledge, views and approaches in the interpretation and application of modern and traditional understandings of the relationship between religion and public life. The entire conference is conceived as a long-term exercise in building on developing international networks for this type of exchange of knowledge, views and approaches. The organizers believe that this will contribute to an interpretation of religion as an active factor of peace and act as a barrier to its abuse by ethno-national, ethno-religious and by other ideologies, tensions and conflicts.
The conference program will include researchers from all over the world, as well as participants in various enterprises focused on understanding and strengthening trust among different collective identities in contemporary societies.
Participants of the Second International Conference Unity and Plurality in Europe will be selected by means of a public call. Participation fee is 200 EUR. It includes accommodation, food, materials and informal activities.
