Preventing and Countering Radicalisation and Violent Extremism in the MENA Region: Strengthening Environmental Resilience

Building the capacity of practitioners, policymakers, and researchers to address radicalisation and violent extremism remains a key priority across the MENA region. To support this, the EU Knowledge Hub on Prevention of Radicalisation will host an awareness-raising online training focused on enhancing the resilience of local communities against radicalisation and violent extremism.

The course is designed to broaden the pool of practitioners, policymakers, and researchers working on PCVE in the region, equipping newcomers with the knowledge and skills needed to contribute effectively to strengthening community resilience.

  • EU and MENA approaches to prevention, including key EU strategies, the Barcelona Declaration, and the role of the EU Knowledge Hub
  • Protective factors and practical strategies for building community resilience
