Participants will be prepared for interfaith leadership in the following areas:
- Religious Pluralism 101 - Introduction to interfaith cooperation
- “The Changing Face of America” – A brief history of immigration in the US
- Exploration of many sacred texts around immigration, and how different traditions are responding to the needs of immigrants now
- Storytelling around “welcoming the stranger”
- Mobilize and sustaining an interfaith and immigration movement
- “Changing the conversation” - Engaging the media
Participants will receive a Stranger to Neighbor curriculum resource at the end of the training, and will have the ability to join the Stranger to Neighbor group on Interfaith Youth Core’s Bridge-Builders network, an online social forum of 3,000 young interfaith leaders across the United States that will provide additional resources for the future interfaith and immigration work of the participants.
This training is presented by the Interfaith Youth Core, in partnership with the Minnesota Council of Churches.
