The Committee for Interreligious and Interconvictional Dialogue of the Conference of International Non-Governmental Organisations (INGOs) of the Council of Europe has taken up the Parliamentary Assembly's proposal to set up a permanent platform for dialogue between communities of different religious or philosophical traditions. The Committee has therefore created an Internet platform to present models of peaceful, forward-looking dialogue between communities of different religions or schools of thought.

In order to publicise and network these encouraging initiatives, we are pleased to present our new website: www.niric-dialogue.eu. This platform invites people in governments, institutions and organisations to find out more about positive developments and innovations, share them and work together for a better future.

In these times of new wars, the growing racism and environmental destruction that threaten our very existence, this website offers a toolbox provided by different religions and beliefs. Sharing their teachings and positive experiences can help us to develop better mutual understanding and promote peaceful coexistence. At a time when our lives are increasingly marked by numerous crises, the desire for external and internal peace and social harmony often remains unfulfilled.

Despite the challenges faced by religions due to the misconduct of some of their members, there are many constructive practices that promote dialogue and peaceful coexistence. This is what we are aiming to highlight through our new website, webinars and direct exchanges.

We invite you all to join us and be part of this growing movement. Together, let's use the power of inner development to create a more harmonious and just world.
