Ufuq.de – Youth culture, religion and civic education in migration societies

Ufuq.de – Jugendkultur, Religion und politische Bildung in der Einwanderungsgesellschaft

Ufuq is an NGO that works primarily with youngsters of Muslim and/or immigrant background. It aims at empowering youngsters in their daily life and initiates discussions about questions of identity, belonging and religiosity.

This also involves the phenomena of Islamism and ethnic-nationalist ideologies. Ufuq operates at the intersection of education, academia and public debate and therefore focuses also on teachers, employees of administration, police officers and Muslim organisations. Ufuq develops and utilises educational short-films and other teaching materials in peer-guide-moderated workshops to stimulate youngsters to critically discuss experiences of discrimination and marginalisation, religious values and questions of belonging and identity and empower them with alternative narratives of engagement, activism and success.

Ufuq is currently developing an innovative deradicalisation project that focuses on the Web 2.0.
