GNET-CENS Online WOrkshop: THE FUSION OF OFFLINE AND ONLINE INTERVENTIONS AGAINST EXTREMISM IN THE PHILIPPINES

The Workshop discussed interventions made by civil society and non-government organisations for Preventing/Countering Violent Extremism (PCVE) in the Philippines. There was consensus among speakers that while online interactions facilitate radicalisation and recruitment, offline interactions remain the most important factor behind violent extremism in Mindanao. Our select list of participants brought a wealth of knowledge and experience to the discussion, which proved engaging and seemed likely to produce further conversations and potential collaborations moving forward.
