Home About Basic approach

[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]In pursuit of its vision, the EFSA Institute promotes dialogue and consensus between different sectors and role-players (religious, academic, political, business, media, community organisations) on the challenges facing our diverse society.

The institute strives to play a facilitating role by providing a platform for the public debate of issues – even controversial issues – thus focusing public attention on specific problems in society.

The interaction between reflection (via dialogue) and practical service delivery (via concrete project implementation) has and continues to enrich all our programmes.

We challenge the church and religious sector, government, business and civil society to respond to public issues and challenges that are important for the entire South African society via our methodology.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]
