What’s up?

The project focuses on on-going discussions among Muslim youngsters on Facebook and aims at providing alternative perspectives and background information about social, political and religious questions to challenge highly visible Islamist narratives in Social Networks.

As a pilot project, it explores innovate approaches to civic education online. Following a peer-approach, young Muslim adults that have been trained to engage in online-discussions, encourage Muslim youngsters to participate in public debate and to develop individual responses to relevant topics in society and politics. Addressing issues ranging from local politics, discrimination, religious issues to global conflicts, the project renders visible the diversity of Muslim approaches and intervenes in early stages of radicalisation.
