Objectives

By implementing the training course “Preventing Radicalization of Young People Through Youth Work”, we wanted to increase the engagement of youth workers and youth organizations in working on preventing radicalization of young people, as a growing threat to EU’s security and multicultural cohesion. The objectives of the project were: - equipping youth workers with knowledge, skills and methods for working on preventing radicalization of young people; - highlighting the importance of accepting cultural diversity for preventing youth radicalization through non-formal learning workshops aimed at presenting the benefits of European multiculturalism; - supporting the exchange of good practices in the field of youth radicalization through sharing positive experiences from different European countries; - providing space for networking and developing new ideas for preventing youth radicalization through mutual work of youth workers from various European organizations; - improving the capacity of participating organizations to prevent radicalization of young people in their communities through providing them with new youth work practices and effective activities addressing youth radicalization.
