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!
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).
