Discussion with students at Seton Hall University to find ways of empowering young voices to contribute to a safer and better world.

The Global Youth Collaborative on Peace and Security (GYC)—part of the EastWest Institute’s Countering Violent Extremism Initiative—recently conducted a student workshop at Seton Hall University in South Orange, NJ (U.S.A.). The workshop was one in a series hosted by the EastWest Institute to complement the GYC’s growing virtual network. The meeting focused on young people’s perceptions of violent extremism and the support they need to speak up, organize, and contribute to a safer and better world.
