GNET-CENS Workshop: The Fusion of Offline and Online Interventions against Extremism in the Philippines
The Global Network on Extremism and Technology (GNET) is an academic research initiative backed by the Global Internet Forum to Counter Terrorism (GIFCT), and convened by the International Centre for the Study of Radicalisation (ICSR) at King’s College London. CENS organised and facilitated this event as a GNET core member.
Summary
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.
