The Interfaith Chapel at University of Victoria hosted a full house (and then some!) on 6 February, 2019, for our \u201cLet\u2019s Talk Through Diversity\u201d event, honouring World Interfaith Harmony Week<\/a>. The program was much different from those of previous years, with many diverse and participatory activities, all set in the smaller and more intimate venue of the UVic Interfaith Chapel. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Discussion groups, “Let’s Talk Through Diversity”, UVic Interfaith Chapel<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The versatility of the setting was used to encourage\nmeaningful dialogue between participants through activities such as small\ndiscussion groups, a sit-down meal, the ice-breaker Diversity Bingo game, and henna\nhand-painting. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Students played a key part in the event, both in the planning and in the student panel and facilitation of discussion groups, as well as the hands-on work of set up, serving the meal, and a hundred other tasks that were swiftly and competently executed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Steve Baileys of ICA is thanked for the many beautiful photos of the event<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

And Jim Flood for the video of the keynote speech<\/a> by Dr. John Borrows.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Thanks also to our co-collaborators in this event: University of Victoria\u2019s Multifaith Services, its Department of Equity and Human Rights, and the Community Partnership Network of the Inter-Cultural Association of Greater Victoria, who all contributed funds and human resources. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
