This year theme will be on radicalisation and violent extremism.

SUMMER COURSE TOPICS

The workshops are divided into three main themes:

· Exploring ‘alternatives to detention’: concrete activities and practices that help to develop understanding and competences for working with VEOs;

· Reimagining Violent Extremism (restoratively): sharing feelings, listening to stories and involving victims as a response to understand radicalisation.
