Violent Extremism and Youth: From Misinformation to Radicalisation

The event will be additional workshop/training related to local community challenges focused on national extremism.

Also, we plan to have presentation of some initiatives finished by youth who attended our previous trainings.

The goal of the training is to (1) empower youth by transferring knowledge in identifying, recognizing, preventing, and addressing the consequences of radicalization, extremism, and misinformation; (2) raise awareness about the significance of these issues; (3) strengthen local communities by “bringing down” knowledge and initiatives to the local level.
