Parenting against radicalization

• Prevent radicalization by training Muslim mothers on radicalization and parenting skills
• Providing emotional support to families at risk

Parenting against radicalisation is a training provided to mothers with a Muslim background. During the training mothers learn about the process of radicalization. They learn how to detect certain risk factors and how they can respond to these. The training consist of six sessions focusing on the following aspects: knowledge on the process of radicalization, raising awareness on the topic of radicalization and training skills needed to make children more resilient against radicalization. Mothers learn for instance how they can communicate openly with their children and how they can critically question the information children gather from the internet or from the streets. In order to enhance trust between the trainer and participants the trainings are provided in Arabic and are given by trainers with a Muslim background. Next to the trainings ‘Parenting against radicalization’ also invests in training parenting ambassadors: Muslim mothers that reach out to families that are difficult to reach. These mothers provide emotional support and help these families to find adequate help.
