Personal Development Programme

As part of our outreach programme, ICIC delivered its Personal Development Programme in Rotterdam in The Netherlands! Our programme empowers local communities by introducing individuals to concepts such as ‘Active Listening' , so they can improve upon their leadership capabilities and emotional intelligence. Through promoting the personal development of individuals, our communities will undoubtedly become stronger for all.

Today members of the Turn To Love volunteers co-hosted a vigil in remembrance of the Terrorist attacks that took place in Christchurch, New Zealand, during Friday Prayer on 15 March 2019.

"We stand here in solidarity with the innocent victims of Christchurch.  We are sending a message of love in these hard times to the people of New Zealand and we say that your brothers in humanity are with you.  We stand against all forms of terror and against all those who espouse hatred and division within our communities.  London has turned out today to say it loud and clear you will not succeed"

The research programme seeks to deliver tailored focus groups aimed primarily at young Londoners, aged 13-26.
