ChannelLaunchingSoon Anti‐IslamophobiaCurriculumPack

The Tessellate Institute produced a series of short videos highlighting Muslim

youth, identity formation, and marginalization titled Neglected Voices.

This initiative seeks to create a curriculum pack that would accompany those videos and be used as educational

modules in the public school system. It is currently in progress and expected to be

completed by Summer 2016.

The launch event for the curriculum pack is sponsored by YCAR and the Faculty of

Education, York University.
