EVENT:
Pluralism Forum | April 4, 2012: Retreat or Advance? Reframing Europe's "Multiculturalism" Debates
The Global Centre for Pluralism is an initiative of His Highness the Aga Khan in partnership with the Government of Canada. The Centre will be located at 330 Sussex Drive in Ottawa, Canada. Dedicated to the creation of successful societies, the Centre is founded on the premise that tolerance, openness and understanding towards the cultures, social structures, values and faiths of other peoples are essential to the very survival of an interdependent world. Pluralism is no longer simply an asset or a prerequisite for progress and development. It is vital to our existence.
The Global Centre for Pluralism is located in the Delegation of the Ismaili Imamat, a secular facility established by His Highness the Aga Khan in Ottawa at 199 Sussex Drive. The Centre’s permanent home – the federal heritage building at 330 Sussex Drive (above) – is expected to open in 2016. A visitor program for the Delegation of the Ismaili Imamat is managed by Aga Khan Foundation Canada.
