PROJECT InterMu-Se

The InterMu-Se project focuses on combating discrimination and intolerance, particularly based on religion or ethnic origin. It aims to address negative stereotypes and prejudices against Jewish and Muslim communities while fostering trust and understanding between Christian, Jewish, and Muslim groups. The project takes a multi-faceted approach, including data collection on religious prejudice, capacity-building for religious leaders and civil society, the development of tools for interfaith dialogue, and public awareness campaigns to highlight shared values across religions.
