Inter-Religious & Inter-Convictional Dialogue
(CIRICD & NIRIC)<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

Council of Europe<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\n
\n

The EBU has had participatory status<\/a> in the\u00a0Conference of International Non-Governmental Organisations (CINGO) at the Council of Europe<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0since 2008, where it contributes to interfaith dialogue and the work of other CINGO committees<\/a> such as those on human rights and gender equality.

In 2021 the EBU helped initiate the\u00a0Committee for Interreligious and Interconvictional Dialogue<\/a> (CIRICD),<\/strong> along with other faith-based INGOs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The main purpose of CIRICD is to establish a permanent platform for inter-religious and inter-convictional dialogue within the Council of Europe and its 46 member states, by creating opportunities for co-operation between faith groups, institutions and governmental bodies. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

To achieve this, the Committee established the Network for Inter-Religious & Inter-Convictional Dialogue and Initiatives<\/a> (NIRIC-Dialogue)<\/strong> to highlight and bring together new and existing European civil society initiatives in the field of interfaith dialogue, and to promote practical examples.
