ACWAY Fellow Talks a fellow-designed and fellow-led initiative that was launched in January 2020 with the aim of promoting collaboration and virtual community amongst ACWAY Fellows in between in-person gatherings.
After attending forums and trainings, ACWAY Fellows are often buzzing with motivation and new ideas. During the implementation of their activities, they wonder “now what?” ACWAY Fellow Talks is an easily accessible opportunity for fellows around the world to be part of a growing, inclusive interfaith community. These video chats will include skill-building portions on highly requested topics, as well as a space for ACWAY Fellows to share their own projects.
The first ACWAY Fellow Talk was held on February 04 as part of UN World Interfaith Harmony Week, titled “Engaging Institutions: Leveraging Principles & Practice” in partnership with Parliament of the World’s Religions, United Religions Initiative, and Cape Town Interfaith Initiative. Since then 3 more fellow talks were held featuring various topics:
