Anti-Muslim racism is a global phenomenon and has become increasingly prominent in European public spheres in recent years. Racist and antisemitic attacks, the increasing strengthening of right-wing populist movements and the current social crises negatively influence the sense of security and sense of belonging of (Muslim) minorities across Europe.

The project open mind – Transnational and Cross-Community against Islamophobia and Muslimophobia kindly invites you to the international online conference Anti-Muslim racism in Europe: social effects and actions to counter it.

On 23 November 2022 from 9:30 to 15:00 various European actors will meet to discuss on the social effects of anti-Muslim racism and how to deal with these effects. The event brings together representatives from the fields of political education, empowerment work, civil society engagement, administration and counselling work to discuss the following questions:

  • What can be the psychological (long-term) consequences for those who experience racism?
  • To what extent do experiences of racism and racist attacks influence the feeling of security of minorities in Europe?
  • What effects do experiences of racism have on the sense of belonging of minorities? 

We are pleased to announce that the event will be opened by the Special Representative on antisemitic, Anti-Muslim and other forms of religious intolerance and hate crimes at the European Council, Mr. Daniel Höltgen.

The preliminary agenda can be found here.

The conference will be an online event and will be in English.
