This initiative seeks to create a network of cities cooperating to prevent violent radicalization, including international, regional, and local institutions, as well as academics, representatives from civil society, schools, families, associations, and technology companies. The project aims to evaluate the risks and protective factors against radicalization among youth, as well as current programs and policies to address it. Additionally, it seeks to identify best practices for reducing tensions within communities. |
