UK Programme
Forward Thinking works to shift mindsets and challenge current policies that are leading to a sense of exclusion from national life by a significant number of British Muslims. There is a need for inclusive spaces for dialogue which we aim to provide. The UK Programme is:
Need driven
Led by the communities
Focused on change
Our network represents the ethnic, cultural, political and social diversity that exists amongst Muslim communities across the UK. We work in collaboration with diverse communities to provide a neutral space for discussion on the challenges and obstacles to social inclusion felt by many. Our prime focus is to support young Muslims in particular to overcome the barriers that limit their political and social participation.
