The National Mosque Open Day was conceived as a platform to build relationships through conversation and promote social cohesion in our country and piloted in 2016 and 2017. The 2018 National Mosque Open Day campaign hosted over 800 participants across 20 mosques. Participants left the mosque with a better understanding of Islam, a sense of community and more accurate information and mutual understanding and tolerance that it brings.
The event is held annually on Heritage Day 24 September.[13]
