The RAN Young Platform: Young people against radicalisation

The RAN YOUNG Platform gathers the young and next influential leaders and thinkers in the field of prevention and countering of violent extremism (P/CVE). This group of people aimed to give a voice to youth’s ideas with regards to countering radicalisation and terrorism and share good practices, challenges and experiences that the RAN network of first-line practitioners could benefit from.

What are the main objectives of the RAN Young Platform?

  • Offer young people the opportunity to have a role in the field of prevention and countering of violent extremism, and to connect them with other young agents;
  • Empower youth in the field of countering violent extremism and to benefit from debates and good practices shared so that their work can benefit from this knowledge and skills;
  • Create a safe space where recommendations by practitioners and policy-makers committed to the field of prevention and countering violent extremism can be shared.

Each year, the Radicalisation Awareness Network (RAN) announces an open call for participation in the RAN YOUNG Platform of that specific year. The RAN Network encourages young people as future first-line practitioners between the age of 18 and 25 in the field of prevention and countering of violent extremism (P/CVE) to join the network. In practical terms, being a member of the RAIN Young Platform means to attend online and offline meetings (around Europe) and to join other RAN working groups, such as the Youth and Education Working Group (RAN Y&E) or the Mental Health working group (RAN HEALTH).
