‘Shared Vision – Your Decision’: Creative Islam seeks your support

Please vote for Creative Islam! – a project from the local libraries as part of Living in Harmony!

WHAT IS SHARED VISION – YOUR DECISION?

Police Scotland, the City of Edinburgh Council and The Scottish Government have made a total of £40,000 available as part of their ongoing commitment to addressing Islamophobia across Edinburgh.

Shared Vision – Your Decision’ is an Edinburgh based initiative which enables local people to decide how public money is spent in eradicating Islamophobia and associated prejudice behaviour.

We understand that Islamophobic behaviour also effects other faith communities and have included projects which also work with these communities.

This type of funding allocation is known as Participatory Budgeting (see below).

Between 10 November and 12 December individuals and groups submitted applications to receive up to £5,000 worth of funding. Potential projects have been selected – and now it’s up to YOU! Voting opened on 28 January and will close on Monday 13 February.

Find out more about ‘Shared Vision – Your Decision’ by reading the information booklet (below)
