TMT takes its role in building harmony
amongst communities very seriously. Many opportunities are taken
to bring together people from various communities and religions
to remove ignorance about one another and to facilitate dialogue.
The following are examples of the
activities and programmes undertaken to date.
| • |
Community Iftar –
this is organised to coincide with the Muslim month of Ramadhan,
where people from different faiths are invited to share the
breaking of the fast with the Muslim community and get a better
understanding of Islam and Muslims. |
| • |
Cultural Awareness
programmes – these are seminars and exhibitions organised
to raise awareness of the religious and cultural life of the
different Muslim communities in the City. The target audience
tends to be officers of statutory organisations in the main
who wish to improve their understanding of the communities they
serve. |
| • |
Attendance and promotion
of city-wide events organised by the Birmingham City Council
and other organisations. |
| • |
Trustees and staff
of TMT participate as speakers at conferences and seminars to
share experience with others about the needs of local communities
and to plan better and improved services. |
Social and Recreational Programmes
Social ad recreational programmes
have a vital role to play in the life of communities, particularly
minority communities. Amongst the many activities, TMT organises
Eid celebrations, trips, meeting with visiting dignitaries from
abroad and supports many local groups by hosting their programmes
and activities.
