The project aims at fostering a new sense of community where community members are more resilient to radicalizing narratives and actively participating in processes to build peaceful co-existence living in the liberated areas of Al Anbar and Ninewa governorates underpinned by education that nurtures critical thinking and values the behaviors associated with mutual respect and co-existence.

 

The project is in response to the Government of Iraq’s request for technical support in designing and delivering programmes that address such aims, supporting Preventing Violent Extremist framework. Specifically, this project will develop the role which the education system (primary, secondary and higher education) can play in nurturing resilience to the push and pull factors associated with radicalization leading to violent extremism.
