CEDAR Mentoring Launches in London Mosque
CEDAR launched its mentoring programme for young people on 7th November 2009 with a successful mentoring session at Tawhid Mosque in east London. In partnership with Young Enterprise London, the session brought together twenty-five young people of Muslim heritage, aged 15-16, with CEDAR mentors for an afternoon of inspiration and skills development. Through interactive skills based sessions, exchanges and work experience placements, the dedicated CEDAR mentoring programme for young people aims to nurture a culture of success and aspiration across Europe’s diverse communities, increase cross community and cross generational dialogue. “I really enjoyed working with the students … a great feeling” Shamez Alibhai, CEDAR mentor (Partner at Cheyne Captital).
CEDAR at M100 'Media Davos', Potsdam
CEDAR played a key role in this year's fifth annual M100 Sanssouci Colloquium entitled ‘Muslim Media and Muslims in the Media’ held at the renowned Sanssouci Palace in Potsdam on 14 and 15 September, 2009. Drawing on CEDAR’s media experts and professionals and the Institute for Strategic Dialogue's (ISD) networks and expertise in the policy, media and civil society arenas, the ISD led Colloquium brought together Europe's most prominent journalists and editors in mainstream and Muslim media to address the impact of Muslim produced and targeted media, and the representations of Muslims in European media. Opening the two day ‘media Davos’, a CEDAR media workshop investigated the position of Muslims and minorities within mainstream media institutions and compared best practice in media diversity policy and practice. This high profile event also saw the launch of two of CEDAR's main products for 2009 and 2010, CEDAR’s European Muslim Women of Influence List (EMWI), an initiative aimed at celebrating the unique successes of Muslim Women across Europe, showcasing role models and diversifying the representation of Muslims in mainstream culture; and CEDAR’s Professional Finder, a databank of experts and leaders, aimed at providing the media and public forums with a pool of diversified Muslim voices able to speak on a wide range of subjects.
