Navigating Europe's Challenges: The Role of Shared Values
A Forum for Renewing Shared Values in Europe
As Europe grapples with increasing social divisions and geopolitical tensions, KAICIID is hosting a significant event aimed at addressing these pressing issues. The 6th European Policy Dialogue Forum (EPDF) will take place in Geneva, gathering influential figures from various sectors, including religious leaders, policymakers, and activists. This gathering poses a crucial opportunity to reflect on collaborative strategies to tackle fragmentation and find value-based solutions.
Details of the Forum
The EPDF, co-organized by the International Dialogue Centre - KAICIID and the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies (IFRC), is scheduled from 10–13 November in Geneva. This year’s theme, “Social Cohesion in Changing Climates: Fostering Inclusive Paths to Equity in Europe,” underscores the urgent need for unified approaches that prioritize the needs of people instead of being divided by politics or faith.
Understanding the Context of the Forum
Europe is currently witnessing a confluence of crises, from heightened anti-migrant sentiments and weakening democratic values to environmental challenges intensified by climate change. In light of these conditions, the EPDF aims to pose a vital question to participants: What type of social contract can facilitate an inclusive, fair, and sustainable Europe?
Participants and Their Roles
The forum will bring together over 100 participants, including religious leaders, youth representatives, and humanitarian actors, creating a rich tapestry of dialogue that aims to overcome structural inequalities and environmental challenges. By doing so, they will explore the pivotal roles that community leaders and institutions play in creating a socially cohesive society.
Key Discussion Topics
At the heart of the forum’s agenda is a commitment to addressing the dual challenges of structural inequality and environmental degradation. Participants will engage in discussions about the moral and spiritual leadership roles of influential figures as they work to mend fractured communities. Additionally, they will highlight local solutions and innovative financing models that are being developed throughout Europe.
Creating a Space for Honest Exchange
The EPDF provides a platform where trust can be rebuilt through shared reflection and principled collaboration. As social trust diminishes across Europe, this forum serves as a refuge for open dialogue and creative problem-solving among diverse communities. KAICIID’s commitment to fostering social resilience through these inclusive dialogues is more crucial now than ever.
Encouraging Media Engagement
The forum invites the media to move beyond mere crisis reporting and bring forth narratives of hope and cooperation. Journalists attending the EPDF will have the chance to cover key plenary sessions, engage with local innovators, and meet with young leaders who are shaping discussions around critical issues such as migration, climate, and coexistence.

Media representatives are encouraged to register for accreditation through the provided invitations. The EPDF aims to be a comprehensive gathering for all committed to the betterment of society and building bridges across divides.
