The Global Conference on inclusive democratic participation to prevent and counter violent extremism kicked off Wednesday in Rabat in hybrid mode.
Organized by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, African Cooperation and Moroccans Abroad, in cooperation with the Permanent Secretariat of the Community of Democracies (PSCD), the Rabita Mohammadia of Ulemas, and the National Human Rights Council, the Conference aims to provide a platform to discuss challenges and good practices in preventing and countering violent extremism (P/CVE) through inclusive democratic participation.
The conference will initiate a reflection on the means of providing youth with the necessary skills to help counter the scourges of violent extremism, both online and offline, and the means of immunizing young people against hate speech.
The opening session of this two-day meeting was attended by the minister of Foreign Affairs, African Cooperation, and Moroccans Abroad, Nasser Bourita, the President of the National Human Rights Council, Amina Bouayach, and the Secretary-General of the Community of Democracies, Thomas E. Garrett, and with the participation, virtually, of the Romanian Minister of Foreign Affairs, Bogdan Aurescu, and the Secretary-General of the Rabita Mohammadia of Ulemas, Ahmed Abbadi.
The event will feature a panel discussion on “Radicalization risks of social media” and two-panel discussions on ”Importance of women’s participation in preventing and countering violent extremism” and “Promoting a dialogue of inclusivity and tolerance to counter extremist narratives.”
It gathers participants from Morocco, the wider African and MENA regions as well as relevant stakeholders from other parts of the world.
