Under the European Union-funded project “Supporting Asian Countries’ Resilience to Violent Extremism in the Digital Space” (EU Pan-Asia Project), the Prevention of Violent Extremism (PVE) Programme of the UNODC Terrorism Prevention Branch is preparing a new series of Knowledge Briefs and a recurring Webinar Series.
The Knowledge Briefs are research products intended to provide policymakers, practitioners, and youth audiences with an overview and analysis of the various experiences, initiatives, good practices, and lessons learned across Asia and elsewhere concerning the Project’s thematic focus areas. The Knowledge Briefs are intended to be modular in nature, and the first modules under development concern Youth Engagement and Empowerment in Preventing Violent Extremism Online.
The Webinar Series aims to provide targeted lectures and conversations on key PVE topics. Led by experts and academics from each region, the webinars will complement and promote continued learning between the implementation of regional workshops. Webinar sessions may also be organized to provide pre-workshop briefings and foundational lectures to designated participants. The first webinar in the series will be announced shortly, along with further information on how to participate.
The UNODC Terrorism Prevention Branch looks forward to these opportunities for continued collaboration with all partners and stakeholders under the EU Pan-Asia Project. Further details on upcoming Knowledge Brief modules, webinar sessions, and opportunities for contribution will be shared in due course.
