The Centre's mission is facilitating interreligious and intercultural dialogue and understanding, to enhance cooperation, respect for diversity, justice and peace. Strategic objectives are to generate, develop and disseminate knowledge in the area of Interreligious and Intercultural dialogue; cultivate and promote respect for differences through dialogue; create bridges, address conflict and promote collaboration amongst diverse groups.
