Type of Organisation: NGO

An intensive youth leadership programme that reduces vulnerability and increase resilience to radicalisation, delivered over several months to groups of between 12 and 17 young people aged 14-19.

Two intensive three-day residentials form the core of delivery, accompanied by introductory and follow-up days delivered in referring institutions, usually schools.

Course content includes interaction with speakers, including experts, formers and survivors; interrogation of long and short-form multimedia; simulations and role-play; dialogue on differing views and grievances; exploration of (social) media narratives.

Delivery is highly participatory, using tried-and-tested non-formal learning techniques to: cultivate critical thinking skills, including self- and other-awareness; build capability to identify and manage conflicts, including those related to violent extremism; increase awareness of extremism and how to think critically about narratives that condone it.

Graduates enter a network of young leaders, where they can pursue their own, personalised, peaceful strategies for effecting change.
