Excerpt:

Fribourg University is to be the first Swiss institution to offer a course to Imams and Muslim community leaders on understanding how Swiss society works.

The vocational training is also open to non-Muslims with the purpose of fostering cross-cultural knowledge. It has largely been welcomed by the Islamic community.

The course will start in October and is organised by the university, the Group of Researchers on Islam in Switzerland (GRIS) and the Paris-based International Institute of Islamic Thought.
