For use with Starting an interfaith youth project.

Aims

• To introduce the participants to each other and create a comfortable, open atmosphere
• To set ground rules and a framework for future meetings
• To begin sharing personal beliefs and values and to start thinking about living in a multi-faith society
  You will probably need to run two or three introductory meetings, before beginning to plan action projects or discussing very sensitive or controversial issues.

These initial sessions will need to be flexible and should be tailored to the group’s size and the age and confidence of the participants.

In this resource we set out a sample session, which we hope will provide a useful starting point.
