About
Mosaic's mission is to create opportunities for young people - championed by Muslims and harnessing the power of positive thinking.
Mosaic works towards a more integrated and thriving society where all individuals, regardless of background, are supported in realizing their potential. Mosaic was founded by HRH The Prince of Wales in November 2007 to challenge the growing concern around the issues facing young Muslims living in deprived areas of Britain.
In a 2008 speech, The Prince outlined the reason for setting up Mosaic:
"The objective has been quite simple and straightforward: to extend a helping hand to those members of our Muslim communities who need it, and together with our other diverse communities, about whom I happen to care a great deal."
To achieve this, Mosaic aims to achieve two things:
- Increase education opportunities for those who do not have them
- Increase opportunities for understanding between people of different backgrounds
Mosaic operates in the U.K as a set of initiatives championed by Muslims aimed at raising aspirations and providing opportunities. Internationally Mosaic reaches into 17 countries via an emerging leaders development programme and opportunities for established leaders to gain insights into key social and environmental issues. Mosaic is also now being established in Bahrain, Qatar & U.A.E by individuals and organisations who have embraced the principles developed within the U.K. under His Royal Highnesses leadership.
