Encompass and the Culture, Faith and Youth Connective
The Culture, Faith, and Youth Connective is a network of organisations delivering interfaith and cross-cultural programs with youth in schools, colleges, universities, and youth groups.
The Connective’s goal is to encourage young people to engage with each other through dialogue and community service projects, in a process that allows them to explore their own and each other’s identity. It also serves as a vehicle to enable the member organisations to work more cohesively, thus making their work accessible to the widest possible audience.
Organisations within the Connective use a variety of methods to break down barriers and facilitate greater interaction, such as organising cultural events, social action projects, creative arts programmes, and using other non-formal educational tools. By offering a “menu” of programmes, the collective aims to enable young people and those working with young people to choose the programmes that best suit their needs.
The Collective:
Alif Aleph UK
Council of Christians and Jews
Encompass- The Daniel Braden Reconciliation Trust
Diversity and Dialogue (The Citizenship Foundation)
London Youth
Interfaith Action
Minorities of Europe
Polygon Arts
St Ethelburga’s Centre for Reconciliation and Peace
3FF (Youth Division of the Three Faiths Forum)
Encompass is really excited about our membership of The Culture, Faith, and Youth Connective. The Connective gives us the opportunity to work with similar minded organisations; the network means we can share ideas, help each other out and generally work together in our joint aim of improving youth community dialogue. The Connective is very young but we have high hopes for its future.
