Islamic Culture Awareness for Classroom Inclusion

Description

Muslim population is increasing every year in Europe; teachers and educators have students from different cultural and religious backgrounds in their classes.

Understanding these differences to create inclusive classroom environments is becoming more and more essential.

This course has been created to equip teachers and educators with a foundational understanding of Islamic culture and beliefs to facilitate positive interactions and support in diverse settings and to learn Islamic culture and beliefs in a Muslim-majority country.

In this course, participants will get familiar with the fundamental principles of Islam, cultural and religious practices, and Islamic reflections in daily life.

The main idea of the course is to help educators create respectful classroom environments by raising awareness and providing accurate knowledge.

Activities will include interactive discussions, case studies, and a field trip, designed to brainstorm, dive deep, and observe the Islamic culture. The participants will be equipped with different teaching practices to apply in their classrooms after this course.

By the end of the course, participants will have the knowledge and tools to better understand Islamic viewpoints, support Muslim students more effectively, and apply teaching methods that are sensitive to cultural differences.
