Navigating Freedom in a Multi-Religious Democracy (Session 1)

The world of work brings young professionals into environments that are more diverse than ever before. Religious diversity is one of the workplace realities that both challenge and reward those experiencing it.

To empower young adults, including university students, for this dimension of their new careers, the Religious Freedom Center of the Freedom Forum will present a series of three virtual workshops with valuable information about religion and religious freedom today. Participants will deepen their understanding and sharpen their skills to navigate and lead in our multi-religious democracy.
