The project specifically aimed at enhancing the overall understanding of the driving factors of anti-Islamic sentiment in the partaking countries, which included its manifestations offline and online, the push and pull factors of perpetrators, their profile, the places it take place, how it is being addressed legally by the state and how social media platforms are used to disseminate and reinforce those negative perceptions. By doing so the project aimed at improving the critical thinking of youth workers and their intervention skills when it comes to addressing Islamophobia in their respective countries. The trainings further aimed at teaching practitioners how to address the psychological, emotional and physical needs of victims of anti-Muslim hate speech/crime, after hearing their stories and providing them with a platform to raise their voices. By exploring different case studies in an interactive manner, the project intended to also debunk myths regarding refugees and asylum seekers, and show the double standards of certain countries in their attitudes towards those groups.
Before attending participants were asked in their country teams to prepare information on the legal framework and the working definitions of terrorism, extremism, hate speech, hate crime and Islamophobia in each country. They were asked to look at who the perpetrators of anti-Muslim hate speech or crime are and what are their motivations. The political environment and social context of their countries was further part of the required description. Participants had to select at least two case studies to present to the others.
Subsequently the training in DK included various activities for the purposes of achieving the objectives of the project.
We started with discussion of the working terminology of terms as terrorism, hate speech, Islamophobia and so on. Cross comparison with the working definitions in each partner
