1. Breaking down barriers and
expanding horizons by using
new technology to connect
young people of all cultures and
religions around the world.

2. Face to Faith is a global schools programme,
bringing 11-16 year old students together all
over the world using digital technology.
Students of different religions and cultures
learn directly with, from and about each other.
Face to Faith prepares students for global
citizenship in the 21st century. Through facilitated
dialogue, students practice the key skills of conflict
negotiation and resolution so that they are able
to hold meaningful and respectful interfaith
discussions - even if their views diverge.
“The video-conferencing session
with a school in Pakistan removed
all stereotypes I had in my mind
about Muslims. I came to understand
that they are simply people just like
us living across the border.”
Indian student, writing on
www.facetofaithonline.org
Using free video-conferencing facilities and a
secure online community students work together
to investigate specific global issues such as the
environment, health, art, poverty and wealth;
discuss a range of opinions, values and beliefs
and explore the reasons for similar and different
world views.

3. How do you ensure
global accessibility?
Face to Faith gives students exposure to people,
environments and cultures beyond their normal reach.
Face to Faith uses flexible and low-tech alternatives
to reach out to poorer schools without technical
infrastructure.
Local coordinators, with the support of Lead
Schools, are available to help schools every step of
the way - from registering, to training, to becoming
active members of the Face to Faith community.
The Tony Blair Faith Foundation funds resource centres
in areas where access to technology is limited.
Active in 15
countries worldwide
Australia, Canada, Egypt, India,
Indonesia, Israel, Jordan, Lebanon,
Pakistan, Palestinian Territories,
Philippines, Singapore, UAE, UK, US

4. Where does Face
to Faith fit into
the curriculum?
Face to Faith is designed to enhance the existing
school curriculum not replace it.
Face to Faith is an educational programme that
contributes to a range of curricular subjects from
the humanities, religious and cultural studies to
social sciences.
Face to Faith is accredited by the International
GCSE offered in 140 countries by Cambridge
Assessment and recognised by the International
Baccalaureate Middle Years Programme.
“After thirty years of engaging in
religious education with the goal
of promoting interfaith dialogue
among different religious traditions
and peoples, I have finally glimpsed
a way forward without parallel.
This is clearly a brilliant idea
whose time has come.”
Professor Harry Stout, Yale University
