On 07-01-2019, the day of anti-Muslim racism, the new department „Muslim Engagement in NRW“ of the Ministry for Children, Family, Refugees and Integration (MKFFI) organized a congress. Members of the MTO Sufi School were also represented.
After opening speeches of the Prime Minister Mr. Stamp, Prof Dr El Mafalaani and Munise Oguzay, the conference continued in three expert forums on various topics of Muslim engagement in North Rhine-Westphalia (NRW).
In one of the specialist forums, MTO board member Dr Maryam Balke was invited as an expert on the podium. Finally, the results discussed in the expert forums were presented to the plenum.
All in all, it was a very successful event with many networking opportunities and room for exchange on all topics concerning Muslims in NRW. We, the MTO Shahmaghsoudi, are pleased to have been there and are looking forward to the following congresses, which will take place in October and December.
