The InterMu-Se project aims to combat discrimination and intolerance, in particular on grounds of religion and/or ethnic origin, to address negative stereotypes and intolerance against Jewish people and against Muslims, and to build trust and understanding between Christian, Jewish and Muslim communities, by:

1. enhancing availability of data and understanding on how members of Islamic and Jewish religious communities experience prejudice, and of their own prejudice and stereotypes against the “other” communities;
2. enhancing access of religious leaders, faith-based institutions and civil society to tailored tools and guidelines for facilitating inter-religious dialogue and cooperation at local (community) level;
3. building the capacities and sensitization of religious leaders, faith-based institutions and civil society (Islamic, Jewish, Christian and/or other) on supporting intercultural and interfaith/inter-religious understanding and cooperation at local level;
4. enhancing interfaith/inter-religious dialogue and cooperation at local level between religious leaders/communities, civil society and other local stakeholders;
5. engaging people from different faith/religious communities in dialogue and joint action addressing the needs of their local community;
6. raising public awareness and understanding of negative stereotypes and misconceptions against Jewish people and Muslims, and on common traits between different faiths/religions that bring people together.
