Ramadan Festival UK 2008
This year the organisation is extending its remits to the United Kingdom and in partnership with Arts Versa UK will endeavour to promote the cultural diversity in the UK and will emphasize the importance of Arts and Culture as a means of promoting intercultural and interfaith dialogue targeting in particular isolated communities.

Consequently, the goals for this year involve increasing the solidarity between different groups in society. These goals are based on the underlying notion that during the month of Ramadan, Muslims are even more than normally expected to show respect to their fellow humans, and thus have to open themselves to tolerance, charity, fraternization and reflection.

The creator of the Ramadan Festival started the Festival with these same goals which now still stand tall. After three successful national editions, the organization believes to have set a firm basis to spread their goals internationally. Together with organizations in Belgium, Switzerland, the United Kingdom and the United States, the Ramadan Festival is going international. With more than nine international lectures, seminars and debates, these activities will be given an international allure by having inspiring speakers from these countries to contribute and shed their knowledge and experience. By organizing different activities throughout the country, many more people can be reached and the goals and results can be shared on a larger scale.
