OBJECTIVES

The project involves building the individual, collective and community resilience and sense of citizenship of youth, engaging them in a process of community development and enhancing their role in social participation to strengthen communities against extremist narratives and reduce the appeal of violent extremist groups. The project enhanced the role of 53 Youths aged between 18-24 years as a core group of change makers in their communities in Saadnayel and Sidon, mobilizing them to take an active part in the decision making and change at the level of their communities, and in preventing polarization and extremism. These youths were coached to conduct community consultations, prioritize community needs and implement Social Action Plans.
