All our work is done in partnership and we believe in finding the best organisations and people to deliver our objectives around the world. Our global network increases the impact of our initiatives, which we hope will transform cultural and religious understanding around the globe.

Philosophy

What is it that makes Coexist distinctive among others working to promote better understanding between faiths? Firstly, while we recognize and celebrate the many connections between the Abrahamic faiths, we also acknowledge their differences and distinctiveness. We believe we learn more about ourselves and our own traditions by looking respectfully at others’. So Coexist is not just about good relations: it is also about exploring our own convictions and beliefs. Secondly, Coexist is focused on action, not words. The programmes we support aim to make a difference – not just to immediate issues and relationships, but for the long-term.

Focus

Coexist has been involved in a range of inspiring, exciting and transformational projects that promote better understanding between faith communities through education, dialogue and research.

• Coexist drives and supports educational programmes and initiatives we hope will capture the public imagination
• Coexist promotes dialogue and reconciliation between groups in conflict with one another
• Coexist encourages research into programmes which further relations between Jews, Christians and Muslims, and between these faiths and others.
