Good Relations on Campus
A
Joint Statement
The primary purpose of
national student faith-based bodies is to resource, support and work for
students of their own particular faith. At the same time, a commitment to
dialogue and to working together to encourage good relations between our
members on campus is of great importance.
Representatives from the national student faith-based bodies and relevant
faith community youth committees listed below have held a series of informal
conversations across recent months, facilitated at our request by the Inter
Faith Network for the UK. These have focused on the desire of our bodies to
strengthen their mutual links in order to discuss together issues of common
concern and to work to promote good relations on campus. Future work in
pursuit of these aims is under discussion between our bodies, and also with
the Inter Faith Network and the National Union of Students. This includes a
programme of activities and of training opportunities to help students of
different faiths on the UK’s campuses to work with confidence and commitment
to promote understanding and respect on campus between those of different
faiths and beliefs.
