V.O.E.M. wants to turn Flanders into an open, free, liveable and tolerant society. We try to prevent preconceived opinions by presenting a clear image of Muslims and other immigrants. We want to create a tolerant community where all theologies can live together in harmony.
The federation wants to be the link between the foreign and autochthonous authorities and inhabitants. We try to weave, together with other authorities and umbrella organisations, a network of dialogue between all theologies. The strive for freedom, responsibility, emancipation, political awareness, sociological changes… is very important.
V.O.E.M. organises regularly activities such as:
* Information sessions: lectures and lessons…
* Stimulation of the interreligeous dialogue
* emancipatory activities organising
* discussions and debates relating to history, identity and social changes
* workshops in schools and youth-institutes
* activities for women,
* educational tours
* expositions about Arabic calligraphy, photography and poetry
*VOEM is since a few years also active in Europe through his participation in several exchange projects and international seminars.
