After YARA’s success in the first edition of “COEXIST” on February 8th, 2011 with 100 attendees, we are proud to announce the second edition of YARA’s “COEXIST”, which will take place on February 18th, 2012 with an intended 350 attendees. YARA will participate in the World Interfaith Harmony Week by engaging in inter-religious and interfaith dialogue to help build for a culture of peace around the world, because YARA is always keen to provide the community with social value that will leave memorable experiences for individuals. Religion and faith are rarely discussed topics in Jordan, but YARA always makes it neutrally unique and enjoyable to both the speakers and the audience.

The seminar is focusing at the situation and the demand for education of the imams in an European context. Among the speakers are Rimke van der Veer, Faculty of Theology and Philosophy of Life Inholland University (Amsterdam), Finnish imams and a representative for the Finnish education authorities.

Topic: A Better Me: Islam’s focus on personal development Speaker: Mufti Aasim Rashid Description: Islam means ‘to submit.’ This requires the believer to submit to the will of God in all aspects of life, including attitudes, behaviors, interaction with other humans. Though submitting in belief and worship are also important, it a person’s character that truly beautifies them and makes them a pleasure to be around. Let us explore this aspect of Islam, and learn about Islam’s guidelines for character and behavior, as outlined in the Quran and Prophetic teachings. This interfaith worship service is an interfaith initiative of the Surrey Neighbouring Faiths Program, the South Fraser Unitarian Congregation and the BC Muslim Association.

The seminar deals with the role of media in intercultural dialoque and it is arranged for journalists, students and general public. The outcome of the seminar is a more open- minded picture on intercultural diversity and how it should be delt in media. The organizers are Living Together in Cities/Kaupunki yhteisönä ry, Haaga-Helia University of Applied Sciences and Ministry for Foreign Affairs of Finland.
