"An end to tolerance ?" – 09:15-17:30, Ecumenical Centre, 150, route de Ferney
Participants will reflect on tolerance and intolerance in religiously and culturally plural societies. Is tolerance enough... or is it too much ? Is it truly a token of integration ? Should we not look for a renewed social covenant ? Religious communities, NGOs, politicians, intellectuals, media, are all invited to address this important issue from an interreligious and multidisciplinary point of view. Open to general public (NB: space is limited). [More information...]
