Young people to design anti-radicalisation programme in EU initiative

1 min read Youth Work
Young people across the UK are set to consult their peers on how to tackle terrorism and prevent young people becoming radicalised, as part of a £1.3m European Union scheme.

The youth-led, Europe-wide Youth Empowerment and Innovation Project (YEIP) will involve children aged 15 to 25 in eight European countries over three years. 

Led by the Independent Academic Research Studies (IARS) International Institute, the project will be delivered locally by 20 European organisations.

In the UK the IARS International Institute's 30-strong youth advisory board will begin the project by visiting schools, universities, young offender institutions and community organisations to talk to children and young people about their experiences and opinions on the causes of radicalisation.

After gathering evidence, they will present their findings and prevention ideas to policymakers, including Home Office officials who are backing the scheme.
