About this event
Violent Extremism is a present and growing threat in Canada and around the world. As with so many complex problems, we need to tap into expertise across disciplines and look for ways to prevent violent extremism that takes creative and collaborative approaches.
This conference will include a morning of panels from experts in the field of PVE in the field of Psychology and Political Science. The first panel will examine the theories and contextual factors that need to be taken into account when addressing violent extremism. The second panel will identify key lessons learned from those working in the field of PVE and how they can inform our theoretical lenses.
This conference brings together experts from social sciences and theatre, shares the latest knowledge on the prevention of violent extremism and will offer an engaging and interactive way to mobilize knowledge to a larger audience to combat violent extremism in Canada.
