This is part of a four-year project on Actions for Cultural and Religious Pluralism in Nigeria and Niger code-named ZAMAN TARE.
The aim of the project is to strengthen multicultural and religious tolerance through various initiatives that include engaging the services and collaboration of academic and research institutes, religious and community leaders, students, youth groups, civil society organizations, State Actors, artists, media actors and representatives of women groups.
URI West Africa actively participated in this 2-Day Training. At the end of the training, URI West Africa was mandated to provide technical support to Group Two (2), to "Advocate for the inclusion of Cultural Groups from outside Plateau State cultural Carnival". This assignment is to be conducted and completed between the 1st of August to the 31st of December, 2019.
