Program Highlights
UN’s Sustainable Development Goals:
This program is ideal for
Compassionate individuals who understand the pivotal role teachers play in shaping young minds. Ideal volunteers possess empathy, patience, and a commitment to fostering safe and inclusive learning environments. They thrive on empowering educators with the tools and strategies to prevent violent extremism and promote positive youth development.
Teachers represent a centripetal force in the educational system. They are considered to be counsellors, role models, motivators among others. In spite of the many roles they play during the fundamental educational years of young people, many parents have blamed teachers for not playing a more effective role in the prevention of conflict or violent extremism in schools, especially at times when schools have become a target for extremist groups.
The training highlights the critical role of teachers as the first point of contact in preventing violent extremism through education, also to build the capacities of teachers and educators to use formal and informal Preventing Violent Extremism (PVE) education strategies and tools. In addition, this activity helps teachers to equip students with age appropriate information, life and cognitive skills to protect them against recruitment into violent extremist groups.
[The best time to come would be between February - November. Yes, some activities are project specific such as the Youth Peace Camp and the Skill Acquisition and Economic Empowerment programme. However, with skill acquisition programmes volunteers can work with people who we have already trained who have established their businesses and are training others.]
