Workshop “European Muslim women’s identity – Unveiling new narratives”
This workshop focuses on the impact of diverse narratives on a specific minority in Europe: Muslim women. Participants will approach and understand the concept of narratives and will then deconstruct one-sided narratives into more diverse, active, and complex ones.
What is this workshop about?
In our childhood, two of the first competences we learn are reading and writing. Yet, it is only long afterwards that we discover that words carry significant cultural, social, historical references about the writer and the reader.
To be aware of the effect of narratives is fundamental in understanding, exploring, and embracing diversity in our European context. To be aware of what stands behind specific narratives is fundamental in improving our society for the better.
