01 - 07.07.2021 Slovakia (including arrival and departure day)

​

The second edition of training course by SYTEV (Slovakia) and Green Elephant Foundation (Poland) within the training project "Stand up AGAINST Extremism".

 

Within its frameworks we are going to assemble groups of youth workers from 10 countries, particularly dealing with young people with fewer opportunities (groups vulnerable to the influence of violent extremism) and work together during 2 Activities (TC) to increase our skills so we could better address our youth learners in the subject of preventing violent extremism and counter extremist narratives in speech.

The project main objective is to bring updated tools to youth workers so they could better address youths during their work on topics of preventing violent extremism, hate speech and the sources of hatred.

We seek to enhance initiatives that challenge extremist narratives, propaganda, cultural, social, religious, political, ideological differences that lead to extremist violence. By reaching out to youths with fewer opportunities, who are victims and actors, we aim to contribute to this objective in the most efficient way.
We aim to promote intercultural dialogue, media literacy, critical thinking and a sense of initiative among them through counter-narratives campaigns.
We aim to develop participants (youth workers skills) so by the end of the project they have developed and enhanced their knowledge, skills and attitudes in preventing extremist violence, are familiar with the conflict resolution and extremist violence prevention, have developed their capacities to apply and use intercultural dialogue in countering the roots of extremist violence in speech and thoughts. Participant shall be familiar with a gender perspective and gender mainstreaming concepts in countering violent extremism and radicalization.
