Based on the US Department of Education and Health and Human Services’ Stop Bullying Now initiative, ING will provide training and resources on how kids, teens, young adults, parents, educators and others in the community can prevent or stop harassment and bullying.
ING will also be training youth to answer difficult questions about Islam and Muslims, with a special emphasis on issues relating to proposed Shariah bans across the country. The purpose of the training is to prevent stereotyping and harassment of Muslim students that often results from common misconceptions and to empower young people to speak for themselves.
ING Answering Difficult Questions and Bullying Prevention Workshops are as follows:
I. Answering Difficult Questions About Muslims and Their Faith
