The Parliament of the World's Religions joins the global interfaith movement in the countdown to the United Nations World Interfaith Harmony Week.

Observances for 2021 World Interfaith Harmony Week will likely be different for each observing community as nations around the world continue to grapple with the COVID-19 pandemic, but the Parliament remains a committed partner of organizers around the world.

Countdown to UN World Interfaith Harmony Week 2021

As part of our countdown to the official observance of World Interfaith Harmony Week from January 30th to February 28th, 2021, the Parliament is partnering with the World Interfaith Harmony Week initiative to launch a study in order to explore the engagement of the global interfaith movement with UN World Interfaith Harmony Week and the H.M. King Abdullah II World Interfaith Harmony Week Prize.

This joint study aims to learn more about the observances and engagement in the last decade and the work planned for the future in an ever-changing world. Please take a few minutes to complete this survey regarding your engagement in World Interfaith Harmony Week.

Observing UN World Interfaith Harmony Week 2021

The World Interfaith Harmony Week initiative encourages organizers to ask themselves the question, "How can we socially distance but remain socially connected in these challenging times?"

The Parliament remains a steadfast supporter of the observance of World Interfaith Harmony Week. Now more than ever, the interfaith movement is needed to foster inclusion, harmony, and inspiration for our communities.
