In this lesson students will gain self-confidence by recognizing what is good about one's cultural background and/or community affiliation and increase their awareness of other cultures/religions (USA: Teachable Moments 2010-21).

The project utilizes interactive maps that document incidents of violence, discrimination, and bias targeting Muslim individuals and communities in the United States. Another interactive map  documents how American Muslim communities have responded to the anti-Muslim hostility (USA 2018).

This link connects to a special section of the Runnymede Trust´s website that deals with Islamophobia and the history of Islam in Britain. This will be an especially useful resource for teachers of religion, history and citizenship.

Students read about what it’s like to be a Muslim teenager growing up in America at this moment, then consider ideas for countering stereotypes and Islamophobia (New York Times Learning Network 2015).
