The Language Lounge is held as part of the EMPATHY project.

The project EMPATHY: Let's Empower, Participate and Teach each other to Hype Empathy: Challenging discourse about Islam and Muslims in Poland is a response to the high levels of intolerance, Islamophobia and xenophobia observed in Poland. The project is aimed at exploring the attitudes, awareness and approaches of school and university teachers, and other institutional stakeholders, in working with students coming from various cultures and at identifying negative stereotypes and spreading awareness about Islam in opinion leaders and institutional environments, e.g. among uniformed services, social workers, civil servants.
