About

The third roundtable meeting to promote the Guidelines for Educators on Countering Intolerance and Discrimination against Muslims: Addressing Islamophobia through Education will be hosted by the Council of Europe in Strasbourg on 5 July 2013. The Guidelines were published jointly by ODIHR, UNESCO and the Council of Europe. The first event, which focused on "Countering Intolerance against Muslims through Education for Societies in Transition" was hosted by ODIHR in Vienna on 6 September 2012. This was followed by the roundtable on “Globalization, Diversity and Social Cohesion” hosted by UNESCO in Paris on 5 November 2012. 

The objective of the upcoming meeting is to promote the Guidelines and discuss how they can be used to challenge anti-Muslim prejudice and promote mutual understanding in multicultural societies. The event also seeks to foster the exchange of regional experiences among policy makers, representatives of Ministries of Education, educational institutions for professional development and teacher training programs.
