This program has been organized by the Pittsburgh Dialogue Committee.

The committee is open to every person who shares its core values regardless of whether their values are rooted in Muslim, Christian, Jewish, Hindu, Buddhist, agnostic, or any other faith.

The proposed vision of the committee is “to implement universal values and ethics to solve common social problems caused by ignorance, dissension and poverty; to advance social cohesion by connecting communities through dialogue, fostering interpersonal knowledge, understanding and trust“.

We are proud to support the Pittsburgh Dialogue Committee and their work to help advance dialogue, tolerance and promote social cohesion.
