This is the M&E Thursday Talk from Thursday, September 26th, when Dallin Van Leuven of Search for Common Ground led a discussion on “Countering Violent Extremism: An Introductory Guide to Concepts, Programming, and Best Practices.”
Despite the recent growth of the countering violent extremism (CVE) field of practice, there has not yet been a publicly accessible training curriculum that offers a comprehensive introduction to this unique and sensitive approach. To address these gaps, Search and Hedayah have developed a culturally-literate training package aimed at raising awareness of CVE approaches. Dallin Van Leuven shared insights from the curriculum, in addition to exploring some of the best practices highlighted.
