Youth Bodies Culture, Faith & Youth Connective is a network of organisations delivering interfaith and cross-cultural programmes with youth in schools, colleges, universities, and youth groups. The Connective’s goal is to encourage young people to engage with each other through dialogue and community service projects, in a process that allows them to explore their own and each other’s identity. It also serves as a vehicle to enable the member organisations to work more cohesively, thus making their work accessible to the widest possible audience. The Connective includes the following organisations: Council of Christians and Jews; Encompass - the Daniel Braden Trust; London Youth; Minorities of Eurpope; Polygon Arts; St Ethelburga's Centre for Reconiliation & Peace; Youth Division of the Three Faiths Forum; Youth Encounter: Interfaith Action. Diversity and Dialogue develops ways to promote dialogue amongst young people, getting them engaged in local and global issues to realise shared values and put these values into practice.
