DESCRIPTION: Designed for service providers\, educators\, and community 
 organizations\, this workshop provides participants with a foundational 
 understanding of anti-Muslim racism\, equipping them to recognize\, name\,
  and respond to Islamophobia in everyday contexts. Through guided 
 discussion\, participants will deconstruct dominant myths and stereotypes 
 about Islam and Muslim communities. The workshop explores practical tools 
 for identifying Islamophobic attitudes and behaviours in real-world 
 settings\, including the media\, workplace\, community interactions\, and 
 personal relationships. Finally\, the session concludes with actionable 
 strategies for combating anti-Muslim racism across multiple contexts. 
 Learning Outcomes Define Islamophobia and anti-Muslim racism\, and 
 distinguish between the two concepts using relevant terminology. Identify 
 and deconstruct common myths and stereotypes about Islam and Muslim 
 communities\, encouraging participants to directly engage with the 
 community to cultivate relationships. Recognize Islamophobic attitudes\, 
 behaviours\, and microaggressions across real-world settings\, including 
 the media\, workplace\, community interactions\, and personal 
 relationships. Critically evaluate media sources and social media content 
 for misinformation\, bias\, and distorted narratives about Muslims. Apply 
 practical intervention strategies to address Islamophobia between 
 colleagues\, within the community\, and among friends and family. 
 Demonstrate the use of inclusive\, anti-racist language when discussing 
 issues affecting Muslim communities in professional and personal contexts.
