Join us for a timely conversation on the evolving landscape of Jewish–Muslim relations in light of the Abraham Accords and other regional political developments. This event brings together students, faculty and community partners to explore new approaches to interfaith understanding, shared civic responsibility and cooperative engagement in South Florida and beyond. Through dialogue and reflection, we will consider opportunities for collaboration in academic, civic and community spaces, the role of education and storytelling in countering mistrust and practical steps FIU can take to support sustained engagement. This gathering fosters inquiry, mutual respect and meaningful international connections rooted in FIU’s commitment to pluralism and global learning.

Guest Speakers
