Within the project “Youth must be a reliable partner”, young people organized community actions in Plav, Nikšić, Rožaje and Podgorica with the aim of strengthening the role of young people in the field of prevention and combating violent extremism.

When it comes to violent extremism, young people are often characterized as category in risk. Activities carried out within the Week of Youth engagement in preventing violent extremism and radicalisation were aimed at young people taking the role of socially responsible actors in this area who worked with their peers to raise awareness of the importance of the topic.

The actions included: movie evenings, visits to different religious communities, human libraries, online workshops, meetings with local government representatives, chats about the importance of mental health…

Also, during the actions Youth Manifest on Preventing Violent Extremism and Radicalisation was promoted, which represents recommendations on strengthening the role of young people in the field of PCVE.
