International Religious Freedom (IRF) Roundtable in Berlin, Germany

The IRF Roundtable Model has proven it is possible for people of all faiths and beliefs to engage each other across their deepest differences and take action together, as equal citizens. The practical results: mutual respect, trust, and reliance between faith and belief communities, and between these communities and governments, building peace and prosperity.

Guideline #1: 

Everyone shall follow the Chatham House Rules. NO video or audio taping is allowed.

When a meeting, or thereof, is held under the Chatham House Rule, participants are free to use the information received, but neither the identity nor the affiliation of the speaker(s), nor that of any other participant, may be revealed.

Guideline #2: 

The IRF Roundtable has always been a safe space where survivors of persecution and representatives of all faiths and none can pull together and stand up for each other's freedom of thought, conscience, and religion on the basis of mutual respect, trust, and reliance. Everyone shall follow the Golden Rule and respect the right of each individual participant to speak at the Roundtable, design, and launch advocacy initiatives, and self-select into multi-faith coalitions of the willing. Participants may not start arguments, speak ill of, or in any way target or attack any individual participant or group at the Roundtable.

Guideline #3

This is a civil society-led and run Roundtable. Since one of our purposes is to bring civil society and governments together for information sharing and coordination, we always invite government officials to our meetings and welcome their updates and participation. We need civil society and governments working together to solve these problems. However, government participation in these meetings does NOT mean they endorse the multi-faith presentations at the meetings and/or the multi-faith initiatives that are launched by civil society participants.
