The Ecumenical and Inter-religious Tapiri organizes exchanges between different religious and cultural traditions, strengthening ties and promoting unity and respect between different communities in Amapá.
The Amapá Tapiri, held in Macapá between 9 and 11 September, and run by CESE, brought together 32 participants from 31 organizations and social movements. Represented groups included grassroots movements and traditional communities, such as quilombolas, indigenous peoples, Worship House communities, domestic workers, young people, and the LGBTQIAPN+ movement. The diversity of participants reflected the rich plurality of social struggles in the region.
The programme included ecumenical and inter-religious dialogue about how different forms of fundamentalism impact on the lives of indigenous peoples and traditional communities, on the struggle for women’s rights, the rights of the LGBTQIAPN+ population, as well as Amapá’s youth and cultural movements, and used an inclusive and representative approach to the diverse perspectives present.
