Amnesty International, Association for Citizenship Teaching & Three Faiths Forum
These three organisations have come together to deliver this event for teachers.
Amnesty International is a campaigning organisation. Their purpose is to protect people wherever justice, fairness, freedom and truth are denied.
Association for Citizenship Teaching is a membership organisation supporting teachers and schools in delivering Citizenship education.
Three Faiths Forum aims to build lasting relationships between people of different faiths (and those of non-religious beliefs), to achieve a society where religious and cultural differences can co-exist through empathy, respect and engagement; and to encourage friendship, goodwill and understanding, especially between Muslims, Christians and Jews.
