Dialogue Society (Oct 2012)

The Dialogue Society are doing an excellent work for social cohesion and the propagation of dialogue amongst faith leaders and different communities!

I’d fully recommend any youngster to go and volunteer for their activities/events! It would be a great experience for one to learn to respect others’ opinions whilst also making a contribution to the British society.

Especially their publications (e.g. Dialogue in Islam, Deradicalisation by default) are top notch!

For more info, see the Dialogue Society homepage: http://www.dialoguesociety.org/

Addendum (Dec 2015): Just to show that I do not state things that I do not believe in, below is a few example photos of me volunteering for (and/or attending) the Dialogue Society – Bristol branch and Leicester branch events (e.g. as a presenter/chair, audience, event coordination).

My Lab Photo in 2011 (Sept 2012)

My Poster in front of David Wilson Library, University of Leicester, UK

The above lab photo was printed on a large billboard just in front of the David Wilson Library (during the refurbishment/renovations) at the University of Leicester (UoL) in 2011, and then in 2013. The photo was also used in the Biological Sciences sections of the 2011/12, 2012/13 and 2013/14 UoL undergraduate prospectuses – although I was a PhD student at the University of Bristol since January 2012. I was in the third (out of four) year of my PhD course but was still in the UoL prospectus as an ‘undergraduate’ 🙂

Me in University of Leicester Prospectus 2012/13

The university also included my views in the online version of the University of Leicester Biological Sciences prospectus and in a ‘Time management’ lecture:
