CEDAR | European Muslim Professionals Network

Building on the successes of an ‘Inspiration Day’ organised by CEDAR members in Belgium in May 2009, a second ‘Inspiration Day’ took place in Brussels on 9 May 2010 in partnership with Association Belge des professionnels Musulmans (ABPM). CEDAR Inspiration Days bring together business representatives, CEDAR mentors and young people aged 15 to 18 around themed information stalls for one-to-one exchange, advice and inspiration.


Offering up to 500 young people access to a wealth of personal and professional development opportunities, the Inspiration Days target in particular young people from ethnic minority backgrounds.Through ‘Inspiration Days’, the dedicated CEDAR mentoring program for young people aims to foster a culture of success and aspiration across Europe’s diverse communities and increase cross community and cross generational dialogue. CEDAR hopes to hold a second Inspiration Day in the Netherlands in late 2010.
