The 2nd International Conference on ‘Religion and Culture in Conflict and Peace’ offers opportunities for peacebuilding scholars and practitioners from all over the world to collaborate in exploring some of the most complex and pressing challenges we face today. The conference aims to go beyond reporting on ‘religious peacebuilding activities’, and examine critically the role of religion in conflict and peacebuilding, and the contribution of religious leaders and organisations to societal harmony. It is hoped that the conference will propose new avenues for research and practice.
