Virtual Parliament Iftar: Rekindling the Community Spirit
Dialogue SocietyDuring the COVID-19 outbreak, cases of loneliness and isolation have reached peak levels as a result of restrictions on social interactions and contact. Many individuals have been left feeling disconnected and unsupported during this period, whether that is on a local level in terms of community or on a national level in regards to the decision-makers.

During the COVID-19 outbreak, cases of loneliness and isolation have reached peak levels as a result of restrictions on social interactions and contact. Many individuals have been left feeling disconnected and unsupported during this period, whether that is on a local level in terms of community or on a national level in regards to the decision-makers. In response to this, we are organising a virtual iftar event based on the theme “Rekindling the Community Spirit” to revive the feelings of support, love, and trust that we may have thought we have lost during this pandemic, by promoting interactions and dialogue.
Iftar is the meal eaten by Muslims to break their fast during the month of Ramadan, which is a holy month where Muslims devote themselves to their faith through observing fasts to come closer to God. This is a period of reflection and reaching out to those who may need support and coming together for this event, it will allow bonds to be strengthened between individuals within inter-communities.
We hope to reassure those of all faiths and backgrounds who have faced challenges during this trying time that they are not alone. This is an opportunity to re-establish a sense of community despite the physical distance between us and will be a reminder that we are a part of something greater than ourselves. “Rekindling the Community Spirit” will inspire further events throughout 2021 in the hopes of reinforcing trust and togetherness.
