Aim: Developing and strengthening capacities of youth workers and youngsters in preventing and combating radicalisation through development of educational methodologies and tools that support online and offline anti-radicalisation youth work. Specific objectives: • Raising awareness on negative impacts of radicalisation and educating young people (mainstream and marginalised) on anti-radicalisation through the development of inspiring handbook, toolkit, as well as the e-learning platform. • Empowering youth workers and improving knowledge management of our organisations in theory and practice for building competences of youth workers in prevention and combating radicalisation through the development of innovative curriculum and the e-learning course. • Exchange good practices and further develop effective partnership among partners from 6 European countries (and beyond) with different realities regarding education, awareness and practices on anti-radicalisation and its prevention among the community.
Young people are particularly susceptible to radicalisation and violent extremism, especially through online content, due to their extensive use of digital tools and platforms. At this critical stage in their development, they are building their identities, learning new skills, and forming their perspectives on the world. Exposure to violent or hate-driven content during this formative time poses significant risks. Recognising the challenges young people face in their communities and the digital landscape, the project partners analysed the current educational and interaction opportunities available. This analysis led them to collaborate on solutions that address these risks. The partners understand the long-term harm radicalisation can cause if left unchecked and are committed to providing proactive prevention measures. Through this project, we developed resources designed to support youth workers and educate young people. These tools aim to prevent radicalisation while promoting social inclusion and unity across Europe.
