Sharing Our Faith Sharing Our Pride Sharing Our Faith Sharing Our Pride An Interfaith Conference for Young People in the New Europe December 6-10, 2006 Brussels, Belgium WELCOME here is the place of faith today in Europe? Is it an ar- Wchaic remnant from earlier times that only breeds hate and intolerance, or is it a way of living a spiritual and meaningful life, embodying ethical and moral norms and re- sponsibilities towards humankind? During this conference, together with participants from all over Europe and from different faiths, you will have the opportunity to explore answers to these questions and more. Together we will ex- plore the role that faith may place in a united, but diverse and multi-cultural Europe. t this conference we will discuss challenges in Europe Ato members of the Muslim, Christian, and Jewish faiths respectively. Among the challenges that will be covered are integration issues, manifestations of hate and intolerance, and the often conflicting tensions between tradition and modernity for members of faith based communities. In or- der to accomplish this we have invited prominent experts from three different faiths to address the conference. Fur- thermore, there will be numerous workgroups where every participant will have the opportunity to have his or her voice heard on a variety of issues. his conference is taking place in Brussels, the home of the TEuropean Parliament, in order to emphasize the Euro- pean aspect of the inter-faith issues that will be discussed. Throughout the conference, guided by MEPs and different political experts, the political dimension will be emphasized in order to set a proactive agenda for the conference. ll of us, citizens of Europe, need to understand the chal- Alenges that members of other faith based communities face, to appreciate the similarities and tolerate the differences amongst us. Barriers will be broken down and the groundwork will be laid for Europe to be a secure and comfortable home for people of different faiths to practice and be proud of their faith. Together we will build a strong coalition of young Europeans who are proud of their religious identities and who can express it in a multi-cultural and integrated Europe. e wish you a meaningful stay in Brussels, W The EUJS Team P R OG R AMME Wednesday, DecembeR 6 - Arrival 18h30 Ice breakers at the Youth Hostel 20h00 Dinner - Introductory Address by Olga Israel, chairperson of EUJS ThuRsday, DecembeR 7 7h00 Breakfast 7h30 Meet for Departure to the European Parliament in the Lobby of the Youth Hostel 9h00 Religious Europe Today - Salle ASP A5G-3 -Chemsi Chéref Khan, President of the Institut européen de l’humanisme musulman -Baroness Sarah Ludford, Member of the European Parliament, Liberal Party 10h30 Break 11h00 Understanding the challenges of the Muslim Communities - Salle ASP A5G-3 Islamophobia, Integration issues in Europe, and the impact of radical religious factions - Yahya Sergio Yahe Pallavicini, Imam, Adviser to the Ministry of the Inte rior in the Council for Italian Islam - Lena Larsen, Vice-President of European Muslim Network 13h00 Lunch 15h00 Group discussion - Salle ASP A5G-3 16h30 Break 17h00 Understanding the challenges of the Jewish communities - Salle ASP A5G-3 Anti-Semitism and Anti-Israelism, Increas- ing security issues for the Jewish commu - nity, Jewish communitarianism - Rabbi David Meyer, executive mem- ber of the CEJI - Serge Cwajgenbaum, Secretary Gen- eral of the European Jewish Congress 18h30 Free Time 20h00 Dinner at the Youth Hostels FRiday, DecembeR 8 7h00 Breakfast 8h15 Meet for Departure to the European Parliament in the Lobby of the Youth Hostel 9h00 Group discussion- Salle ASP A5G-3 10h30 Break 11h00 Understanding the challenges of the Christian communities - Salle ASP A5G-3 How Christian is Europe today?, Relevance of Christian values in multicultural Europe, The new role of Christianity in a changing political environment - Father Norbert Hoffman, Secretary to the Vatican Commission for the religious - Oliver McTernan, Former Catholic parish priest, broadcaster, author and Fellow of Harvard University’s Centre for Interna- tional Affairs 13h00 Lunch 14h30 Group discussion - Salle ASP A5G-3 16h00 Free time 18h45 Shabbat Dinner followed by a discussion introduced by Professor Julien Klener, Presi- dent of the Belgium Consistoire, with the Chief Rabbi of Brussels, Albert Guigui and Father Norbert Hoffman .

  • Western Europe
    Western Europe Great Britain National Affairs A STRANGE DICHOTOMY marked the year. While the country enjoyed continued prosperity and stability, the government—especially Prime Minister Tony Blair—incurred increasing unpopularity, albeit not to a degree that would threaten Labour's continuance in office. The sustained growth of the economy and low interest rates softened the impact of tax increases on disposable income, although opinion polls did register discontent, particularly over local taxation. Chancellor of the Exchequer Gordon Brown's pre-budget report in December indicated that receipts were lower than anticipated while costs associated with the Iraq war had pushed spending above expectations. Nevertheless, Brown adhered to his "golden rule" that over the economic cycle the government should borrow only to invest. Employment reached a record high of 28.1 million, and the number of people applying for unemployment benefits dropped steadily, reaching 917,800 in November, 7,900 lower than a year before. High employment raised the threat of wage inflation. The burden of interest payments on the growing public debt raised similar concerns. In July, interest rates were cut a quarter-percent to 3.50 percent to stim- ulate the economy, but in December this was reversed for the first time in almost four years; rates went back up to 3.75 percent so as to coun- teract the danger of rises in house prices and personal debt. Politically, satisfaction with the government continued to decline from its peak of about 55 percent just after 9/11 to about 25 percent in De- cember 2003. The results of local elections held in May registered the po- litical fallout: Labour lost a combined 800 seats, and the Conservatives, winning the largest share of the vote, gained about 500.

  • Seminar with Tatiana SîRbu La Politique Des €Œ
    Seminar with Tatiana Sîrbu La politique des “ villages tsiganes― en Bessarabie sous trois administrations: tsariste, roumaine et soviétique: 1812-1956 Ces dernières années, le sort des Roms a, à plusieurs reprises, été porté au devant de l'actualité. Mais cette question est une problématique ancienne qu'il n'est pas inutile d'examiner sur le plan plus historique. Pour aborder l'histoire chaotique de cette population, le CEGES invite le mercredi 19 décembre 2012 l'historienne Tatiana Sîrbu pour une présentation qui traitera de l'évolution de la situation des Roms en Bessarabie aux 19e et 20e siècles, fruit de ses recherches de doctorat. Seminar with Ugur Ümit Üngör Expropriation et destruction : génocide et confiscation des biens arméniens en 1915  Peu d'événements historiques suscitent autant de controverses que le génocide arménien. Le sujet a encore marqué l'actualité politique lorsque le Parlement français a adopté une loi réprimant la négation du génocide arménien avant son invalidation par le Conseil constitutionnel. Le CEGES a, pour sa part, souhaité se pencher sur cette question le mercredi 5 décembre 2012 (2.30 p.m.). Seminar with Laurent Thiery La répression: un élément central de la stratégie politique d'Occupation dans les départements du Nord - Pas-de-Calais On Wednesday 21 November 2012( 2.30 p.m.) the CEGES/SOMA receives Laurent Thiery. L'historien français qui a récemment soutenu sa thèse de doctorat à l'Université de Lille 3, viendra présenter ses recherches au cours d'un séminaire consacré à la répression allemande dans le Nord de la France durant la Seconde Guerre mondiale.
