“Let’s meet the three cultures” (Christianity, Islam and Judaism) is the focus of the latest educational report (Issue eight) produced by the Euromed SALTO-Youth project, comprising details of four training courses on this theme carried out by the Resource Centre. These are:
- 1st in Cordoba in 2004, the focus was cultural, rather than religious – how was it, how is it and how can it be, using the past as a starting point;
- 2nd in Jerusalem in 2005, due to the uniqueness of the place, the focus was on the history of the city and the three monotheistic religions;
- 3rd in Antwerp in 2006, the training course was linked to the political power and the communities, the connivance of the communities within a multinational city;
- 4th in Paris in 2007, focusing on laïcité vis-à-vis the three cultures. The challenge was to tackle the four topics – four cultures living in Paris in peace nowadays;
Each educational report is intended to be used as a ‘resource pack’ for youth workers dealing with the kind of issues and activities examined during the trainings.
