Short Film: Celebrating Twenty Years of Scottish Interfaith Week

We celebrated twenty years of Scottish Interfaith Week in November 2024 and produced a film to honour the anniversary.

“Since its inception, we have engaged thousands of people in celebrating the rich religious and and cultural diversity of Scotland, through dialogue and so many creative activities such as music, dance, exhibitions, storytelling, poetry, ceilidhs, and family fun days. Basically celebrating the joy of being together and connecting.” – Dr Maureen Sier, Director of Interfaith Scotland

Eid Mubarak to our Muslim friends celebrating the end of Ramadan and Happy Naw Ruz to our Baha’i friends celebrating the end of the Baha’i 19 day fast! This March has been a special month with Muslims and Baha’is both observing a fast from sunrise to sunset and Christians observing the 40 days of Lent on the run up to Easter, different faiths but with a common goal of connecting to God and caring for others less fortunate.
