Empowering Youth Workers Against Radicalization

Radicalization is a complex issue that requires comprehensive and multidimensional policies to address effectively. As efforts to prevent radicalization gain momentum worldwide, education emerges as the most powerful tool for fostering resilience and safeguarding young individuals from extremist influences. Our initiative, Empowering Youth Workers Against Radicalization, is designed to strengthen the capabilities of youth workers, ensuring they can act efficiently in the fight against radicalization. This project provides practical solutions and innovative methodologies to prevent individuals from being drawn into extremist ideologies. Objectives of the Project - Establish a network of youth workers to foster communication and collaboration. - Develop a report analyzing the perceptions of youth workers toward radicalization and proposing strategic solutions. - Present findings to policy makers, ensuring institutional awareness and proactive measures. - Strengthen international cooperation by connecting six European partners for long-term collaboration. Innovative Outcomes Our project introduces groundbreaking elements to tackle radicalization through education and community engagement: - EARN-PORTAL: A digital platform designed for stakeholders working on radicalization, facilitating knowledge exchange, collaboration, and innovative solutions. - Perception of Youth Workers in Europe towards Radicalization Report: A comprehensive analysis of youth workers' perspectives across Europe, available in multiple languages. - Best Practices Handbook: A collection of effective strategies from around the world, helping youth workers implement successful intervention methods. - Combating Radicalization with Rehabilitation Guide: A resource focused on rehabilitation techniques to assist individuals at risk. - Academic Article: A peer-reviewed publication presenting original research and insights from field studies and workshops. Why This Initiative Matters By equipping youth workers with the right tools and strategies, this project contributes to a safer and more inclusive society, reducing the risk of radicalization before it takes root. With a commitment to digitalization and collaboration, the initiative ensures long-term impact and sustainability.
