Innovatively promote efforts to prevent/counter violent extremism through developing creative skills/capacity of youth violent offenders
Dear Eldy,
Thank you very much for your encouraging words. Haven worked with most of these young people especially in regards to violent Extremism I think what they need is an alternative as well as building their self esteem , and personality . The rise of violent extremism is a major challenge to the world today. We need to work together toward promoting sustainable peace
Dear Musa, Thank you very much for your comment. I think you are very right. Now, the beauty of our programming is, we adopt the interdisciplinary approach in peace building. We start the programme from an evidenced based approach (using consultation and interviews) to identify specific needs and context of violence and related issues. So we are not limiting only to employability. To counter violent extremism, radicalisation and build social cohesion, rehabilitate and reintegrate offenders, we rely on our method of delivery of the project. So we incorporate practice based conflict and peace building techniques as well as leadership and other skills (we consider building trust, self-esteem, and patriotism as the key ). For sustainability, we engage state institutions and other stakeholders throughout the process. A step further is the policy recommendations we would develop which will inspire government and other national and international stakeholders. You can watch a short interview and read this articel of a trainee after the pilot phase https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HN_aQ4JVZxY , http://loyoc.blogspot.co.uk/2016/04/blog-post.html http://loyoc.blogspot.co.uk/2016/06/creative-skills-for-peace-marks-end-of.html ,
