ECRL/RfP Europe was a partner in organizing the 6th Annual European Policy Dialogue Forum in Geneva, Switzerland, led by the International Dialogue Centre (KAICIID) and hosted by the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies (IFRC). The Forum brought together over 100 religious leaders, youth representatives, and international institutions from across the globe to reflect on equity, the core value of this year’s dialogue—a powerful reminder that true dialogue begins with listening.

On behalf of Religions for Peace Europe, Prof. Genti Kruja, President of Religions for Peace Europe; Bishop Kari Mangrud Alvsvåg, President of ECRL/RfP Europe; Members of ECRL: Mufti Nedzad Grabus, Imam Yahya Pallavicini, Prof. Mark Owen, Secretary of ECRL/RfP Europe participated.

Key insights emphasized by leaders from KAICIID, ECRL/RfP Europe, the City of Geneva, and the European Parliament included:

➡️ Equity is the foundation of resilient societies

➡️ Social cohesion and climate justice are inseparable

➡️ Dialogue is essential in times of crisis

Under the theme “Social Cohesion in Changing Climates”, participants explored inclusive pathways toward shared futures rooted in justice, dignity, and care for the Earth, highlighting the urgent need to rebuild trust, address fragmentation, and strengthen resilience through values-driven cooperation.
