We would like people living in the UK, aged 18 or over and who have a religious faith or spirituality and/or are active members of religious or spiritual groups, such as a church, mosque, temple, meditation group, study circle or prayer network to take part in this survey. We are especially keen to secure good representation from people of Muslim, Hindu and Buddhist backgrounds.

 

As part of our Leverhulme funded research project we are inviting people from a wide range of faith communities in the UK to complete our survey. To do this survey online please click here  or paste this link in your browser

This survey is looking at how and why religious and spiritual groups make a contribution to their communities. Please try and answer all the questions and give your personal honest opinions

Background and purpose of the seminar:

 

This year Preston celebrates 20 years of twinning with Kalisz in Poland.  There are a number of celebrations taking place over the period 23^rd to the 26^th July. As a part of the celebrations, this seminar on immigration and the integration of immigrants in the community has been designed as an opportunity to discuss an issue of common interest with our colleagues in Kalisz.  In addition, it has a resonance with our other twin cities of Almelo in Holland, Recklinghausen in Germany and Nimes in France.

 

This seminar also provides an opportunity to showcase some of the work being done in Preston and as an exchange of ideas and learning with our twinning colleagues.
