The
Jubilo Project 1
A
COMPARATIVE APPROACH
TO JEWISH, CHRISTIAN AND ISLAMIC
REALITIES.
An ecumenical undertaking for an in-depth knowledge
of the central themes in the Abrahamic religions.
Under
the Culture-Education Programmes.
Contribution
to achieving MDG 2 – target 3, and MDG 8 – targets 16, 18.
ENDORSED BY THE
COUNCIL OF 100
LEADERS
OF THE WORLD ECONOMIC
FORUM,
DAVOS 2006.
THIS
PROJECT OF COMPARATIVE RELIGION,
supervised
by an international Advisory Board, fosters the conflict prevention,
ethnic integration and peace building actions through a comparative
in-depth, open, respectful and tolerant dialogue among the Abrahamic
faiths and cultures. It embodies a treefold structure: The Abrahm's
Legacy television seris, the Tea for Peace round-table
dialogues, and The Spirit Inspires my Way multimedia series.
By prompting the comparative vision, the Project underlines the
contribution of different cultures to our common heritage and lifestyles;
raises awareness of the importance of exploring together the means
to develop an active participation in our society respecting cultural
diversity – cornerstone for a sustainable peace process and world
unity in a community based on common shared values. It tests, influences
and informs public policy.
It is a powerful educational agent able to reach all segments of
the international society, educating – particularly young people
–
beyond schools and curricula to the vital values and sense
of belonging to the human community
of global citizen.
