PROJECT

The European TIP project is an initiative that wants to work with the theater sharing and contributing to the analysis of the problem of Islamophobia. It also wants to contribute to a more extensive line of study, through the use of art to raise awareness, sensitize and denounce Islamophobia, To arrive to these objectives , the project will take on the theater, trying to address the challenges it faces in this regard.
To do this, the project will provide, support or create contexts of debate between organizations, researchers and people who knows about the subject to create another line to combat Islamophobia.
The construction of strategies will be studied through artistic actions to create a debate that can contribute to organizations and trainers in the area of the fight against racism and Islamophobia. All this work will be accompanied by national and international meetings, creation of synergies, and a research about Islamophobia.
