The module refers to European perceptions of the female Muslim veil in Central and Eastern European countries. The Arabic term used to describe this Muslim headdress is the word \u2018hijab\u2019, which means: headscarf, shawl, veil. The veil takes many forms and carries many meanings while serving different purposes and conveying different political and social ideas. The hijab as a part of the Muslim women\u2019s veil became a symbol on which the attention of the European populist and conservative parties focuses. However, it is a symbol abused by the West. The public controversy is great and may be indicative of polarisation between Muslims and Western European societies. For some parties, Muslim veil represents conflict of values and the clash of civilizations. After the attacks on the World Trade Centre on 11 September 2001, a very damaging stereotype arose that every Muslim is a terrorist. Stereotypes and prejudices play an important role in shaping social and political awareness. There is no other piece of women\u2019s outfit that arouses as much emotion in public discussions as the Muslim veil. The subject of the Muslim veil is very sensitive both in the everyday life and in the social and political discourse, especially among secondary school students, whose socio-political views are consolidating and crystallising.\n<\/p>\n<h2>\n\tObjectives:<br>\n<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>\n\t\tto understand the history and diversity of women\u2019s headscarf around the world\u00a0\n\t<\/li>\n<li>\n\t\tto recognize the complexity and diversity of the different styles of \u2018veil\u2019 and \u2018veiling\u2019 practices in Islam\n\t<\/li>\n<li>\n\t\tto introduce students to basic knowledge about perception of Muslim veil in Europe especially in CEE context\u00a0\n\t<\/li>\n<li>\n\t\tto make students aware of issues of freedom and respect for other religions\u00a0\n\t<\/li>\n<li>\n\t\tto guide students in the political use of the symbol of the hijab\n\t<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>\n\t<strong>Target group<\/strong>: secondary school students\n<\/p>\n<p>\n\t<strong>Keywords<\/strong>: teaching about Islam, Muslim veil, hijab, Central and Eastern Europe, women, sensitive topic in politics\n<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Abstract Women\u2019s veils play a significant role in many religions present in Central and Eastern Europe, including the Abrahamic religions: Orthodox Judaism, Islam, and Catholicism.
