| Preventing violent radicalisation |

In 2006 and 2007, four studies were undertaken on behalf of the European Commission to analyse in depth the problem of radicalisation leading to terrorism from various angles that were considered important for the EU's policy-making in the area. The studies are comparative in nature and based on fieldwork and case studies. CI produced two of the four reports, Beliefs, ideologies and narratives of violent radicalisation and Best practices in cooperation initiatives between authorities and civil society with a view to the prevention of and response to violent radicalisation, which are now available in our publications section. |
| Understanding Muslim Ethnic Communities |

The Change Institute was commissioned by Communities and Local Government to undertake research on England's diverse Muslim communities. The result is a fourteen volume series of publications on thirteen Muslim 'communities' grouped by country of heritage. The publications provide a starting point for understanding the diversity of England's Muslim communities and highlight issues both common and unique for different Muslim ethnic populations.

| Intercultool – are you interculturally competent? |

|
|
The Change Institute is currently participating in a programme of work funded by the European Commission as part of its Life Long Learning Programme to develop a framework model of ‘intercultural’ competence that is based on the needs of professionals involved in culturally diverse or ‘intercultural’ situations. The project describes ‘Interculturalism’ as ‘sharing and learning across a culture(s) that promotes understanding, equality, harmony and justice in a diverse society’. You can contribute to this project by completing our pilot assessment tool. An initial phase of research has been conducted with professionals from different sectors across 6 European member states in order to generate insights into practical every day experiences of dealing with cultural diversity. The findings of the research have been used to create an online survey which we are now in the process of testing. We would like people from these sectors; private, not for profit, the public sector and vocational and training institutions that are based in one of these locations; London, West Yorkshire and Shropshire/Staffordshire, to test the tool. By completing the survey you contribute to:
http://www.intercultool.se/ There are some quite provocative and challenging situations/statements to test your thoughts. Unfortunately the site cannot provide your individual scores during this testing phase. However, once the tool is launched you could ‘retake’ the refined test to find out your intercultural competence score! We would appreciate your candid feedback about the tool.
