About the program
The Being Muslim Being British multi-media course is designed for young people aged 16 and over who have been exposed to extremist discourse. The program was developed in consultation with Imams and Muslim community leaders. The 16-hour course uses films and group activities to enable participants to problem solve according to their own values. The program was pre- and post-tested with 81 young Muslims across 7 pilot groups around the UK.
Key takeaways
The data showed significant gains in participant ability to:
- use a greater range of values
- think in more complex ways during group discussions.
