Community engagement

Ongoing programme

Enhancing communities

We enhance youth knowledge and comprehension of Potential Violent Extremism (PVE), fostering improved communication and positive interaction among youth themselves, as well as between youth and communities. This programme builds social cohesion and equips young people with the skills and awareness to contribute to peaceful, resilient communities.

Objectives

  • Increase youth awareness and understanding of factors that can lead to violent extremism.
  • Improve communication and positive interaction among young people.
  • Strengthen dialogue and trust between youth and community leaders.
  • Build resilience and social cohesion in target communities.

Our approach

We work with youth groups, schools and community leaders to deliver workshops, dialogues and awareness sessions. Activities are designed with and for young people so they are relevant and owned by the community. We focus on dialogue, critical thinking and positive alternatives to build lasting cohesion.

Impact

Through this programme we support safer, more inclusive environments where youth can participate meaningfully and contribute to peace and development in their communities.
