‘Getting on Together’ schools pilot project

 

The Welsh Assembly Government financially supported a pilot project to:

 • counter the emergence of extremist attitudes in Muslim young people;

• to facilitate a deeper understanding of the teachings of the Qur’an and traditions of the prophet Mohammad - especially in respect of violence to others; and

• tackle fundamental interfaith issues impacting on community cohesion,  among them, identity and Islamophobia.

 

The project was held in 3 Cardiff schools as part of Personal & Social Education lessons and delivered by a fully trained team including an Imam. The project will be fully evaluated during early 2009 and findings will be considered by the Welsh Assembly Government.
