About us
The Tony Blair Faith Foundation aims to promote respect and understanding about the world's major religions and show how faith is a powerful force for good in the modern world.
Faith is vitally important to millions of people worldwide. It underpins systems of thought and of behaviour. Faith is central to many of the world's great movements for change or reform, including many charities. The values of respect, justice and compassion that our great religions share has never been more relevant or important to bring people together to build a better world.
However, religious faith can also be used to divide. We have seen throughout history and continue to see how it can be distorted to fan the flames of hatred and extremism.
The Tony Blair Faith Foundation is a response to these opportunities and challenges. We educate, inform and develop understanding among the world's major religious traditions.
The importance of understanding religion
Through our Faith and Globalisation Initiative, the Foundation works to build a global conversation between universities around the world where students come together to discuss questions on faith and globalisation. They will then take the lessons of the academy into the wider world as future leaders. Learn more.
Educating the next generation
Our schools programme, Face to Faith, is designed to improve young people's religious literacy. Face to Faith brings students of different religions and cultures together using digital technology to connect schools in 18 countries. By learning about and from each other, they tackle misunderstanding head on, developing negotiation skills crucial in today's world. If you would like to learn more visit our Face to Faith pages.
