Destructive terrorist attacks in Europe and Turkey in 2015–16 have increased concern at levels of extremism and radicalization including violent extremism. The EU’s Terrorism Situation and Trend Report of 2015 referred to ‘unprecedented’ numbers of people going from Europe to Syria and Iraq to become involved in armed conflict. Meanwhile, right-wing extremist violence remains a significant threat to security across European states and Turkey. Governments, policymakers and young people themselves are all concerned to deter young people from becoming involved in extremism, especially violent extremism. The Paris Declaration issued by the Council of the European Union in 2015 noted the rise of extremism in European society and expressed commitment to upholding fundamental values – including respect for human dignity, freedom, democracy, equality, the rule of law and human rights. It emphasized the role of education, along with the need for co-operation across the EU’s member states, to ensure that, ‘Children and young people acquire social, civic and intercultural competences, by promoting democratic values and fundamental rights, social inclusion and non-discrimination, as well as active citizenship.’ The training course aims to enable participants to increase their understanding in this area and explore the role of youth work in response. The training course’s objectives are to: - identify and understand the causes of extremism and radicalization; - recognize the importance of dialogue on the concept of citizenship and to explore questions of identity, including religious and political beliefs; - equip participants with the ability to identify those most at risk and with tools to respond to different levels of extremism and radicalization; - design and implement activities using the Erasmus+ framework to help young people at risk from extremism and radicalization. We would like to implement this project because we believe in the benefits of partnership in youth work. So that; in May 2016 the Council of the European Union reiterated both the value of youth work and the ‘role of the youth sector in an integrated and cross-sectoral approach to preventing and combating violent radicalization of young people.’ Since risks to young people from extremism are not confined by borders, but are also shaped by local contexts, there is potential for youth organizations to work with partners from different European countries. In this way, youth organizations can expand and enhance the opportunities offered to young people and youth workers – enabling them to gain new insights, as a result of exposure to different experiences and settings.
