Challenging Islamophobia

This fantastic event would be particularly useful if you are a decision maker, community leader, an organisation that works with refugees or asylum seekers, youth worker, foster carer, or work in equalities or education,

This is Interculture’s launch event. A new exciting social enterprise that supports and celebrates intercultural communication through workshops, training and events. We have chosen Challenging Islamophobia for our first event in response to the continued negative media representation of Muslims, the inhumane treatment of refugees and the PREVENT programme.

Speakers include:

• Tariq Modood; founding director of Ethnicity and Citizenship research at Bristol University
• Hassan Mahamdallie, a writer, playwright and Director of the Muslim Institute
• Rizwan Ahmed – Chaplin at Bristol University and Bristol Muslim Cultural Society
• SARI (Stand Against Racism and Inequality)
• Maz Saleem; prolific anti-racism campaigner
• Weyman Bennet - Stand Up To Racism
• Narazin Massoumi - Bath University
• Zahid Gill – Totterdown Mosque

Additional speakers and artists to be announced.
