In December, our first roundtable took place in Brussels with European representatives from politics and civil society. The roundtable was the final event of our Narrative Change Academy with the aim of sharing the Academy’s findings and hearing perspectives from European actors in the field of migration and anti-racism. We are very excited about the new alliances and opportunities for collaborations that have emerged there to continue advocating for a change in narratives about Muslims in Europe. On Instagram, we shared who we were able to exchange ideas with and what topics we have discussed.

The first year of the Narrative Change Academy has come to an end. What did we learn, what surprised us, what do we want to do differently next time? What recommendations for action can we give to civil society organizations from all over Europe that are active in the field of migration and anti-racism and want to use the narrative change approach to leave their own bubble? Our report summarizes the concept and structure of the academy, presents important findings from the campaign work and examines the effectiveness of the newly developed narratives.

Our latest publications are now available in English!

They highlight important findings on anti-Muslim racism against young people in Germany, present impulses and recommendations of young network members for living together in our post-migrant society and formulate specific statements and recommendations for policy, research and education.
