Pathways to Understanding:
CREATING COMMUNITY THROUGH ALLYSHIP
The Tampa Bay region of Florida is home to tens of thousands of Muslims of
South Asian, Middle Eastern, Eastern European, Central Asian and North African heritage,
and the population continues to grow steadily.
Despite the region’s diversity, however, many people of all religions have few relationships
outside their own faith groups. This can lead to a lack of understanding and a less-unified community.
The goal of Pathways to Understanding is to give community members the opportunity to build relationships
across and within faith communities to increase understanding and inclusion.
The Tampa Bay Times Newspaper in Education program and Community Tampa Bay staff invite you to join us
in this journey of discovery and understanding.
