in the current Tunisian context
Tunis, 3 March 2017
On Friday 3 March 2017, a workshop on religion and political violence in the current Tunisian context was held in Tunis. Organised by the Cordoba Foundation of Geneva (CFG) in partnership with the Al-Jahedh Forum, and the Swiss Federal Department of Foreign Affairs (FDFA), the meeting brought together experts to promote peaceful coexistence between political actors with divergent worldviews. The discussions, held under the Chatham House Rule, were rich and aimed to identify common ground on which it is possible to work together to consolidate Tunisia’s democratic transition.
This workshop on the Tunisian context is part of a series of workshops on the interaction of religion and politics in the public sphere, a process that began in 2016. Two meetings were held in Istanbul and a third in Doha in 2016. A report of the workshop will be posted shortly on the CFG website (Cordoba Peace Institute – Geneva).
