The Interfaith Dialogues Series is being organized by Religions for Peace, Arigatou International, and the World Council of Churches to bring together religious leaders and faith communities to explore how we can advance children’s wellbeing and preserve their dignity through dialogue, shared learning, and collective action.

The series is set to begin in November 2025 and continue through November 2026, offering a sustained space for reflection, dialogue, learning, and peer support among religious leaders.

The first session will take place on 26 November and will convene approximately 80 religious leaders, with the aim of building shared learning and fostering collective action to uphold children’s dignity amidst global challenges.

On 19 November, a global online gathering, “Keeping Faith in Children: Building Our Shared Humanity,” will bring together the voices and experiences of children, grassroots actors, and members of the World Day Planning Committee. Together, they will explore how faith in children becomes faith in humanity, a living commitment to compassion, and an invitation for collective responsibility and intergenerational solidarity for and with children.

On 20 November, an “Interfaith Service for Children” will be a moment to come together in prayer, meditation, and reflection for children impacted by war. It will bring together religious leaders from diverse faith traditions and regions, as well as children who will share their voices, talents, and hopes for peace.

A World Day Package, entitled “Mobilizing Faith and Communities for Children’s Rights and Wellbeing,” will also be released.
