The area's imprescindible importance was even recognized by UNESCO UNITWIN Network for Inter-Religious Dialogue and Intercultural Understanding (IDIU)^[3] due to the large amount of interreligious and interfaith International non-governmental organizations that use the area's qualitative research and data analysis.

Since we have an ever increasing number of Interfaith marriages, communities, civil organizations, and businesses worldwide we also require further studies in the research field, in areas as interfaith multi-religious pedagogy, as it is being developed by World Religions Education for Kids and the United States Agency for International Development Freedom of Religion or Belief (FoRB) Learning Platform.
