Abstract

2003 at the time under the name of  International Summer School on Religion and Public Life (ISSRPL). The name is changed into CEDAR in 2013 and since than have conducted summer program in many countries, such as UK, Bosnia, Bulgari, Israel, USA, Kenya and Indonesia.The article bean with testimonies from several CEDAR participants from different countries for two weeks to show their change in attitude and perception towards the others that ave different faiths. From the experience of the program in Bosnia, Kroasia and Israel for examples we learned that religious differencies or differencies between religious and seculars not always the main source of conflicts but also differencies in ethnicity, tribal groups and sexual orientation that could be the triggered for tensions, intolerance and prejudices.Therefore, we dicided to include those factors into our program. Sharing experiences is the best place to understand differences compare to academic trainings. Emphasis to sharing experiences have an implication to the reduction of academic training components and giving more times to non academic activities for instance with working together in share projects. The article also explains the role of anthropologist in theory and implementation within the CEDAR program’s curriculum and activities.
