An interactive good practice session welcome to all staff and student-staff when working and collaborating with Muslim students. This session is open to all staff in student-facing and non-student-facing roles, in addition to anyone who may wish to learn more about the day-to-day considerations in the lives of Muslims.

This session will essentially cover how to best accommodate for Muslim students during events, including on-campus visits, residential events, and open days. Content will primarily pertain to considerations when working with Muslim students, Student Ambassadors, and young people, including brief explanations behind specific religious commitments. Relevant resource links will be shared.

In further detail, we will discuss:

• Awareness around religious observances, including the significance of, and commitments to: daily Prayers, Ramadan, the two Eids, and Friday (Jumu'ah) Prayers
• Dietary considerations at events
• Interpersonal interactions and exchanges
• Institutional Signposting - Prayer Rooms, LU's Islamic Society, and the importance of a dedicated prayer space during events

There will also be a Q&A at the end of the session.
