In what ways might we increase young people’s resilience in the face of radicalisation?
The TRICK17 tool aims at increasing awareness and critical thinking of young people to support resilience in the face of radicalisation. The tool is designed to support young people’s interest in democratic values and encourage them to take a more active role in the city’s social activities. The tool is a creative art-based approach organised in the form of a ‘mobile interactive workshop’.
The mobile interactive workshop will target young people between 13-21 as well as different local prevention organisations, a ‘magician’ will call a ‘volunteer’ on stage (who will actually be an actor) to “humiliate” him in front of the shocked audience, only to reveal in the end that they were both actors and that “things are not how they seem to be”. The workshop will take place in a different place every month.
