This is a Preventing/Countering Violence extremism project, implemented with support from the KAICIID Dialogue Centre in 2019, this project aimed to promote local understanding of interfaith harmony, religious inclusivity, and learning within tertiary institutions. Targeting 10 religiously segregated communities surrounding the University of Jos in Plateau State, the project facilitated various key activities. These included intergenerational story-telling sessions, capacity-building workshops, digital storytelling initiatives, and the establishment of the Youth Interfaith Relations Network. In collaboration with the Jos Stakeholders Centre for Peace, the Student Union Government of the University of Jos, the National Council of Muslim Youth Organizations of Nigeria, and the Youth Wing of the Christian Association of Nigeria, the project successfully reached a total of 715 individuals, with 526 males and 189 females. As expressed by a participant
we have been part of the crisis in Jos where our communities donated money to buy gin and weed so that we could fight those we saw as enemies, we burnt houses of our friends who are not able to build them back, these houses are sold to politicians, I wish I could meet each of those whose houses we destroyed to say I am sorry.” (Name withheld).
