EUROMED Youth Work Against Violent Radicalisation and Extremism
Seminar
TUNISIA: 12- 16 September 2021
The Conference would like to corroborate, the role of youth work against violent radicalisation and Extremism. Youth work has a very important role to play in the prevention of violent radicalisation and Extremism, supporting and empowering young people to deal with challenges they face and strengthening their resilience. It is one of the instruments against violent radicalisation and extremism , as young people are susceptible to various influences during the critical stage of adolescence, and if they perceive themselves as susceptible to discrimination, social exclusion or marginalization, they are more at risk.
Aims/Objectives:
The Conference will bring together participants from Programme Countries and from the four Neighboring Regions of the European Union in order to reflect on interdependency and the need to analyze this topic from a wider perspective.
The conference will have as objectives:
1) To explore the concept of youth radicalization and extremism, its forms and manifestations, and how youth work can have a role in its prevention,
2) To increase participants’ understanding regarding the role of youth work in preventing violent radicalisation and extremism and extremism, in supporting young people’s resilience and empowerment,
3) To create a space for sharing and exchanging inspiring practices among participants and for identifying adaptations of existing practices,
4) To strengthen the links of youth work to related fields and sectors where cooperation is useful in order to achieve more on the theme of violent radicalisation and extremism,
5) To explore support measures of Erasmus + Youth Chapter and other programmes for youth NGOs working on the theme of the conference.
