Searching for a new narrative

• WATCH THE RECORDING OF THE EVENT

INTRODUCTION Radicalised young Muslims in Europe seem increasingly open to the anti-Western message and agenda of Islamist and jihadi groups, while the Western world radicalised its views on Islam and Muslims.  However, the majority of Muslims in Europe are an integral part of European society.  The idea is to give a platform to the  contribution of thinkers and associations of Muslim background, in different contexts from education, to town planning, arts,  culture... fostering new ways for a diverse and rich European society. We share good practices in different countries (UK, France, Germany and Spain), and take stock of the on-going discussions and projects to help shape a more effective response and contribute to the prevention of the parallel radicalisation.
