The establishment of the Turkish-Kurdish work group at The Hague Peace Projects has created a steady flow of projects and events stimulating interaction and peaceful dialogue between these diaspora groups in The Netherlands. Our resulting collaborations and activities have since broadened our scope to investigate prejudice towards Muslims throughout Europe, and to encourage dialogue about human rights and diversity as part of the Muslim identity.
Components
Dialogue Events
We engage diaspora and migrant groups in the organisation and participation of events to build trust and understanding, and work together towards conflict resolution.
Research
Our research projects investigate the pervasive mechanisms of discrimination towards Muslims, and their representation in the national and international media.
Awareness
We raise awareness about institutional discrimination towards Muslims and cultural conflicts through media campaigns and visits to schools.
Activism
We support Human Rights Defenders and catalysts of social change.
