Bonnie Greer is an author and playwright. Her works explore the experience of minorities in majority cultures. Recently Bonnie’s opera “Yes” was performed at the Royal Opera House, the opera explored Bonnie’s appearance on the BBC’s Question Time alongside the BNP’s Nick Griffin. Bonnie is also a Trustee of the British Museum and a regular media commentator.

Undergraduate ParliaMentors, run by 3FF, is the winner of the UN award for cultural innovation. On this year-long programme, groups of undergraduates of different faiths and beliefs are mentored by parliamentarians, and create social action and community empowerment projects with support from leading NGOs.

The Undergraduate ParliaMentors annual lecture explores the interplay between faiths, non-religious beliefs, politics, the media and the arts. Previous speakers were Jon Snow, Samira Ahmed and Jon Sopel.

In keeping with 3FF’s aims and ethos all of our events aim to create the most inclusive atmosphere possible. Therefore, food will be labelled, Kosher and vegetarian options will be provided and all meat products served will be Halal. Alcohol is not served at our public events. Prayer rooms will be provided when needed. We hope that this will cause the minimum amount of disappointment and will make our events welcoming to a diverse range of people.
