Practical Skills for Interfaith Dialogue Program
Are you someone who is curious about faith diversity at McGill? Are you excited to meet and converse with students from different backgrounds? Do you want to enhance your dialogue skills? MORSL regularly offers opportunities to be part of a small cohort to build a community of interfaith dialogue practice that is unique on campus. All students are welcome to apply, no prior experience required, and students of all backgrounds and belief systems are invited!
The nature of this program requires mutual trust that builds over time, and the sessions are designed to create a safe space through activities that progressively deepen a sense of community within the cohort. For these reasons, no new participants will be admitted once the program is under way.
If you are interested in learning about the Practical Skills for Interfaith Dialogue series, please consult FAQ or send an email to morsl [at] mcgill.ca.
