The Madrid Symposium will focus on "The Promotion of World Peace through Interfaith Dialogue & Global Political Discourse" and will highlight the importance of inter-faith dialogue and global political discourse as vehicles for World Peace. The potential role religion and politics play in the promotion of peace building and stability will be outlined, with the aim to exemplify the positive and demonstrative effect it can bear in impacting society.
Religion can be used as a major force of reconciliation between divergent factions; through the analysis and promotion of inter-faith dialogue, the Symposium will illustrate the key role inter-faith dialogue and global political discourse plays and can play in facilitating mutual understanding. In addition, inter-ethnic dialogue and the issue of tolerance of varying spiritual affiliations within a country or region will be analyzed. The overall objective of the Symposium will be to demonstrate how inter-faith dialogue and global political discourse can be used as effective tools in promoting global peace and reconciliation, and the power of religion and global political discourse to bring varying groups together in order to establish and maintain constructive channels of communication and sustainable collaboration.
