THERE IS NO "ISLAM" AND THERE IS NO "WEST"…

In the light of international events over the last five years the theme of the third annual Pierre Elliott Trudeau Foundation Conference on Public Policy could not be more timely ‎and relevant: Muslims in Western Societies. Some of the most distinguished minds will share their views in plenary and working group sessions in Vancouver from November 16 to 18.

The dialogue will focus on the relationships between Muslims and other citizens of Western societies and tackle topics such as religious belief and secularism, multiculturalism, women, political violence and security issues. The Trudeau Foundation aims to generate informed debate and dialogue. The outcomes will be published after the conference.
