which is impossible without

02

Countering conditions for radicalization through advancement of FoRB and Social Cohesion

The operating cycle

Engage, research, equip. A cycle, not a project timeline.

It runs on two levels that feed each other. National work brings evidence and experience to the Panel; the Panel returns approaches that countries test against their own conditions and build into their own curricula.

Grounded in three pillars Relational diplomacy(opens in a new tab) Covenantal Pluralism(opens in a new tab) Cross-Cultural Religious Literacy (CCRL)(opens in a new tab)
