Cross-Sectoral Cooperation to preventing radicalisation of youth
Start date: Jun 1, 2016, End date: Mar 31, 2017 PROJECT  FINISHED 

The project ''Cross-Sectorial Cooperation to prevent radicalisation of youth'' is a 5 day Study Visit which will take place in Brussels Belgium. The project aims to instill the participants with a more thorough understanding of cross-sectoral policies and seeks to empower a group of youth workers and youth leaders to shape genuine, innovative, cross-sectoral inclusive youth policies which will play a vital role in preventing exclusion of youth from different or disadvantaged backgrounds, and other potential problems such as extremism and radicalisation of youth in their communities. As we have become clearer about what it really takes for young people to be the bearers of prosperity of the EU, it is more evident that strategies to improve youth outreach need to focus on strengthening safe environments, not just on changing individual youth. The outcomes of these integrated efforts to foster youth development are the tools to be used to strengthen the capacity of young people to stand for themselves and advocate the best possible legal framework in which they can thrive.The project will gather 23 youth workers and youth leaders from 10 European Countries (Italy, Turkey, Bulgaria, Latvia, Greece, Croatia, FYROM/Macedonia, Portugal, Poland and Belgium) providing them with a possibility to exchange experiences and gain best practices in the field of cross-sectorial youth policy development, by visiting the main European Institutions and stakeholders in the youth field. Out of the Box International, along with its partners, wishes to empower youth workers by equipping them with competences which will help them to get engaged and interact with relevant decision makers to combat existing and potential problems, most notably the integration of migrating youth as well as to ensure inclusion models that will help them overcome the obstacles in their new environments. should these problems be left untackled or dealt with sporadically,they may give rise to serious threats such as radicalisation, that can potentially lead to acts of terrorism. Furthermore, radicalisation is best contained at a level closest to the most vulnerable individuals. It requires close cooperation with local authorities and civil society. Therefore, the core of the action on radicalisation and recruitment is, and should remain, at national level. provided support to governmental and non-governmental actors in developing EU-wide cooperation and cross-sectoral actions to address the challenge of and to strengthen individual and community resilience against radicalisation.
