Get
involved!

Any improvement you can
make in your local community,
no matter how small it may  
      seem, is valuable.
 Kofi Annan, One Young World, 2016

Violent extremism threatens us all, but young people are uniquely placed to counter its terrible appeal and create an inclusive vision of the future. Across the world, much excellent work is already being done. It demonstrates that violent extremism can be countered in many ways - by addressing the root causes of violent extremism, by recognising and preventing radicalisation, and by working to strengthen civil society. Every young person can find some way to make a contribution. This Guide can help you to get started.

We say

Young people bring unique knowledge and insight, and are often more credible and accessible to their peers than others. Don’t sit back and complain about not being listened to: get involved in CVE work and make a difference.
All CVE approaches should be guided by certain principles:
deep commitment to human rights; respect for community
and regional dynamics.
Some of the best CVE work does not tackle violent extremism
head on but works through education, community cohesion, and promotion of alternative narratives.
