Scottish Interfaith Week is an annual community-led festival celebrating the nation’s religious and cultural diversity.
Each year we have around 70 events hosted across Scotland by faith communities, interfaith groups, organisations, local councils, schools and more.
This year marks the 20th anniversary of the festival which will take place on 11-18 November, 2024.
Engaging in the festival is a key way to encourage community cohesion, help people to feel safe and connected where they live, and challenge stereotypes before prejudice has a chance to take root. The festival is for everyone; people of all faiths and none.
You can engage with the festival by:
- Attending or hosting an event
- Printing off a festival poster for your community noticeboard
- Creating a book display in your community using the Booklist resource
- Sharing the festival with local networks, including in newsletters and on social media
- Encouraging your council, workplace, school, community group, university or college to take part in the festival
We believe that encouraging people to discover and learn about the lives of others is an effective way to challenge prejudice and misunderstanding, and that’s why ‘Discovery’ is this year’s theme.
