\u201cYouth Against Extremism and Radicalization\u201d is a two-stage international youth exchange project which aims to gather 35 young people from 5 countries (Hungary, Armenia, Georgia, Turkey and Estonia) and empower them to fight against extremism and radicalization. Violent extremism and\u00a0radicalization is a denial of democracy and of human rights. Unfortunately in Europe and beyond an\u00a0increasing number of young people are being drawn into extremist movements in their search for identity and a meaningful place in society. Profound feelings of injustice and frustration about their social exclusion are amongst the main root causes contributing to young people’s vulnerability, and increase their willingness to adhere to extremist, sometimes violent groups, which offer an apparent social purpose to them. In order to effectively commit to the elimination of radicalization and\u00a0extremism, it is crucial to invest more in prevention measures targeting young people. Youth engagement activities form a cornerstone as youth can engage their peers on par , taking advantage of their own life stories.<\/p>\n

Overall aims & Objectives: The main aim of this two-stage Youth Exchange “Youth Against Extremism and Radicalization” is to create a platform where young people will demystify the concepts of radicalization and extremism, become more aware of processes and risks leading to radicalization and extremism and be empowered to engage in anti-extremism and deradicalization efforts both individually and collectively within their local communities in general and among refugees and migrant communities in particular. One journey: 2 stages! The first stage will\u00a0take place in Armenia (28 June – 7 July 2018) where participants will explore the subject, its challenges and opportunities. In between the first and the second stage participants will do research and observation in their local communities to find useful insights and opportunities for combating radicalization and extremism. The second stage of the exchange, which will take place in Hungary (11-18 September 2018) will gather insights, learning, inspirations and experience of participants from their local communities and translate them into concrete de-radicalization and anti-extremism quality youth projects to be carried out under Erasmus + Programme.<\/p>\n
