About This Course Project

Community Engagement Against Radicalisation is a project led by The University of Lusofona, in partnership with NGOs and research institutions from 10 countries. Its objective is to develop practical models of community and civic engagement that can enhance civil society capacity to prevent and counter radicalisation. This includes developing digital toolkits, implementing tailored trainings, and launching a consultancy service. The project is expected to enable individuals working in the field of preventing and countering violent extremism (P/CVE) to be better equipped to meet the challenges facing them as practitioners, and to enable them to work as multipliers within their own communities by developing PVE/CVE sustainable initiatives.
