The overall aim of the project is to produce a toolkit of counter-narratives to Islamophobia, building on an assessment of the range and content of counter-narratives to Muslim hatred and hostility in 8 national case study contexts and their application, operation and impact on prevailing narratives of hate and hostility. This project will: 

• Categorise prevailing current narratives of Muslim hatred, identify their key elements and interlocking contextual environments employing the Domination Hate Model of Intercultural Relations (Islamic Human Rights Commission 2016),
• Categorise current counter-narratives to Muslim hatred and assess their changing dynamics and context,
• Examine the application and operation of identified counter-narratives in a selected range of discursive environments and their impact and influence on public opinion and specific audiences,
• Produce one transferable EU toolkit of best practice in the use of counter-narratives to Muslim hatred and specific key messages for 8 member states,
• Disseminate the key messages, findings and toolkits to policy makers, professionals and practitioners both across the EU and to member/regional audiences using a range of mediums and activities,
• Facilitate a process of knowledge exchange and a pathway to impact for toolkit utilisation.
