"A YEAR IN THE LIFE"
BOLTON DOCUMENTARY PHOTOGRAPHY have received funding from Bolton CVS to photograph a year of activities of Bolton Interfaith Council and its many faith-group members - focussing on our work in promoting trust, understanding, and social cohesion in Bolton. Activities documented will include Faith Trail visits, Memorial Events, Debates, Open Forums, educational initiatives, BIYAF, as well as the diverse religious, cultural and community activities of our faith-group members.
An exhibition will follow in 2010 at the end of the project. It will be on display in various local venues.
We are sure the exhibition will generate good publicity for Bolton Interfaith Council and make the public more aware of our activities and principles.
