TOMORROW! KAICIID Dialogue Centre Peace Mapping Programme Presentation, 1-2:30pm

by Pluralism Project Staff

Dear Greater Boston Friends, Please join us tomorrow for a presentation by researchers from the KAICIID Dialogue Centre's Peace Mapping Programme. More information is below. We hope to see you there! All the best, The Pluralism Project Staff *Presentation of the KAICIID Dialogue Centre's Peace Mapping Programme * *Tuesday, September 22nd, 1:00-2:30pm* *Rabinowitz Room (3rd Floor), Andover-Harvard Theological Library, Harvard Divinity School* Join researchers from the KAICIID Dialogue Centre <http://www.kaiciid.org>, based in Vienna, to learn more about the first phase of their Peace Mapping Programme <http://www.kaiciid.org/peacemap>, an effort to map interreligious dialogue activities around the word and assess their collective impact on peacebuilding. The Peace Mapping Programme launches this week, coinciding with World Peace Day. Recent decades have seen a rapidly expanding variety of interreligious dialogue activities. Their roles, contents and impacts have stimulated social and political debates – be it in the context of UN declarations or national policies in various countries in Europe, Africa, Asia and in the Middle East and North Africa region, being linked to notions such as ‘social cohesion’ (UNDP), ‘global citizenship education’ (UNESCO) or ‘sustainable development goals’ (U.N.). Within this broad spectrum of activities, a set of faith-based as well as non-affiliated actors have come to use the concept of interreligious (or interfaith) dialogue as a basis for their specific engagement in conflict transformation and peacebuilding. Come learn about research currently underway to further understand these efforts and their collective impact on peacebuilding.

by Pluralism Project Staff

Dear Greater Boston Friends, The Pluralism Project cordially invites you to two upcoming events: - 9/16: An advanced screening and panel discussion of the film *He Named Me Malala *(this Wednesday, 9/16) *RSVPs are required for this event.* - 9/22: A presentation by researchers from the KAICIID Dialogue Centre of their Peace Mapping Programme, an international effort to map interreligious peace-building efforts. *He Named Me Malala Documentary Advanced Screening and Discussion* *Wednesday, September 16th, 7:00pm* *Landmark Kendall Square* The Boston Globe, the Alwaleed Islamic Studies Program at Harvard University, and the Pluralism Project invite you to a special advanced screening of *He Named Me Malala <http://www.malala.org/>.* Please join us on *Wednesday, September 16th at 7:00pm at Landmark Kendall Square *(One Kendall Square, Cambridge, MA 02139). The screening will be followed by a panel discussion featuring: - Davis Guggenheim, Director, *He Named Me Malala* - Dr. Ali Asani, Director, Alwaleed Islamic Studies Program, Harvard University - Dr. Jocelyne Cesari, Islam in the West Program, Harvard University - Dr. Diana Eck, Director, The Pluralism Project, Harvard University The discussion will be moderated by by Janice Page, film editor at *The Boston Globe*. *RSVPs are required for this event. To confirm your attendance, please e-mail Ryan(a)WITPR.com <Ryan(a)WITPR.com>.* *About the film: *HE NAMED ME MALALA is an intimate portrait of Nobel Peace Prize Laureate Malala Yousafzai, who was targeted by the Taliban and severely wounded by a gunshot when returning home on her school bus in Pakistan’s Swat Valley. The then 15-year-old (she turns 18 this July) was singled out, along with her father, for advocating for girls’ education, and the attack on her sparked an outcry from supporters around the world. She miraculously survived and is now a leading campaigner for girls’ education globally as co-founder of the Malala Fund. Acclaimed documentary filmmaker Davis Guggenheim (*An Inconvenient Truth*, *Waiting for Superman*) shows us how Malala, her father Zia and her family are committed to fighting for education for all girls worldwide. The film gives us an inside glimpse into this extraordinary young girl’s life – from her close relationship with her father who inspired her love for education, to her impassioned speeches at the UN, to her everyday life with her parents and brothers.
