Reducing Extremism
Through Lived
Experience Training
Extremism Harms Everyone
Sometimes what looks like harmless fun to many can be an open door to manipulation, hate, racism and extremism.
Extremists use people, and because of the internet, that door is now open 24/7, 7 days a week.
Aware of how damaging and destructive extremism can be, we have two videos: the first shows what extremism is, and the second shows how young people can become recruited, and that there is support available.
Please share these videos and educate others.

Extremism
Can Impact Anyone
Having looked at the information outlined you can see how people can be impacted by extremism and this can be any household.
Today there are no stereotypes as to who is an extremist.
They could be -
The Activist
Chris
It could be a young adult who spends time online and gets interested online in extremism and becomes an activist.
The Vulnerable
Alexa
Not everyone who gets involved with extremism is male, an increasing number are female, sometimes seeking protection of extremists because they have been hurt or abused by someone.
The Recruiter
Mark
It could be someone who has a good job, but away from work is an extremist recruiter who uses multiple profiles to trap people like Chris.
The Damaged
Neil
People don't just become racist or extreme, there has to be a need or a trigger. Often people who have suffered reach out to extremists because no-one is there for them.
* To protect the identity of people involved, models are often used in our publicity material and their inclusion does not indicate their political opinions
