Inter-religious coalition building against anti-Muslim hatred and anti-Semitism

ongoing

InterMu-Se project aims to combat discrimination and intolerance, in particular on grounds of religion and/or ethnic origin, to address negative stereotypes and intolerance against Jewish people and against Muslims, and to build trust and understanding between Christian, Jewish and Muslim communities, by: 1. Enhancing availability of data and understanding on how members of Islamic and Jewish religious communities experience prejudice, and of their own prejudice and stereotypes against the “other” communities 2. Enhancing access of religious leaders, faith-based institutions and civil society to tailored tools and guidelines for facilitating inter-religious dialogue and cooperation at local (community) level 3. Building the capacities and sensitization of religious leaders, faith-based institutions and civil society (Islamic, Jewish, Christian and/or other) on supporting intercultural and interfaith/inter-religious understanding and cooperation at local level 4. Enhancing interfaith/inter-religious dialogue and cooperation at local level between religious leaders/communities, civil society and other local stakeholders 5. Engaging people from different faith/religious communities in dialogue and joint action addressing the needs of their local community 6. Raising public awareness and understanding of negative stereotypes and misconceptions against Jewish people and Muslims, and on common traits between different faiths/religions that bring people together.
