Muslims and Islam in Minnesota Schools: Dialogue, Resources, and Community
When: Saturday, November 8, 2008
10:00am – 4:00pm at
Where: Islamic Center of Minnesota
1401 Gardena Ave NE, Fridley, MN 55432
This event is open to the public and free of charge.
In the state of Minnesota, the Islamic faith has a long history and great depth and diversity among its followers. Some Minnesota Muslims are native to the state of Minnesota and many are newcomers from across the globe. One shared experience of Minnesota Muslims is finding a way to navigate schools and structures that will still allow them to practice their faith. In public schools and charter schools, the public has called into question the ways that schools and teachers have decided to accommodate their students and families.
Meeting Minnesota’s Muslims Project of the University of Minnesota, in partnership with Islamic Center of Minnesota, Islamic Resource Group, and Al-Amal School will host a public event to help shed some light on the issues of Islam in Minnesota Schools. The Islamic Center of Minnesota, home to weekend Islamic schools and Al-Amal School, a private Islamic school, welcomes the community to learn more about the variety of approaches schools use to support students, as well as community resources to learn more about our Muslim neighbors.
Please join us on November 8 for this important event.
