Taking the Think Project Forward: The Need for Preventative Anti-Extremism Educational Work
Author(s):
The Think Project to date has been an outstanding success in its own terms, and has very strong local support in which it is regarded as an effective response to an identified and growing threat and need. It fits into, and extends, the concept and practice of community cohesion, in particular by taking crosscultural and intercultural dialogue to new levels through an ambitious use of ‘contact theory’. It is an innovative and timely approach to tackling the intolerance and prejudice espoused by the Far Right and, in principle, offers the potential of wider applicability, both in geographic terms and the very conception of diversity and difference.
