National Education Summit on Islamophobia

Islamophobia continues to cast a long shadow over Canadian society, impacting various sectors including education, policy, and community relations. Despite Canada's commitment to diversity and multiculturalism, the alarming rise in Islamophobic incidents in recent years underscores the urgent need for continued collective action.

This conference aims to:

• Amplify Diverse Voices: Provide a platform for Muslim and allied communities, academics, policymakers, and civil society organizations to share their experiences and insights.
• Foster Dialogue and Collaboration: Encourage open and honest conversations to identify shared challenges and opportunities across communities impacted by hate.
• Develop Effective Strategies: Explore evidence-based approaches to address Islamophobia and interlocking oppressions including anti-Palestinian Racism, in education, policy reform, and community-led initiatives.
• Build Stronger Communities: Promote understanding, social cohesion, and solidarity.

By coming together, we can work towards a more inclusive and equitable Canada where everyone feels safe, respected, and valued.
