BORDEAUX AREA LOCAL CRIF PROMOTES INTERFAITH DIALOGUE

Albert Roche, President of the Bordeaux area local CRIF, organized a meeting between leaders of Jewish and Muslim associations together with the deputy mayor of the city of Bordeaux.



The meeting was largely covered by the leading regional daily “Sud-Ouest”. The aim of the meeting was to improve the relations between both communities and to assert the region’s tradition of tolerance and of progress.

The communities’ leaders decided to meet on a steady basis, to organize joint encounters between the youth groups and to set up a joint think tank to promote a better common understanding.
