Intercultural & Religious Dialogue Activity Report 2018

The EPP Group Intercultural and Religious Dialogue activities aim to promote mutual understanding and an active sense of European citizenship for a peaceful living together. Decision makers are called to provide answers to the complex crisis with political, economic, religious and cultural implications in Europe.

'Intercultural and Religious Dialogue’ does not mean theological discussions in the European Parliament. It is about listening to people from the sphere of religion and exchanging views with representatives of academia, governments, European Institutions on issues of common interest or concern and in connection to religion and intercultural relations.

The Working Group on 'Intercultural and Religious Dialogue' is an official structure of the EPP Group and is co-chaired by Jan Olbrycht MEP and György Hölvényi MEP, in which a number of EPP Group Members of the European Parliament gather monthly to deal with religious and intercultural issues.
