NÓS. Homeland Security Secretary Jeh Johnson will be the keynote speaker April 6 no Simpósio CVE, which will be held at the Ronald Regan Building in Washington D.C. Cadastro is open to the public. Seating is limited.
Secretary Johnson will be joined by elected officials, formuladores de políticas, diplomatas, profissionais de desenvolvimento, researchers and others in advancing the substantive outcomes from the 2015 White House Summit on Countering Violent Extremism and the United Nations General Assembly in September. UM Simpósio CVE preliminary agenda is now available.
"O Simpósio CVE will delve into what we call the ‘how’ aspects of countering these global threats,” says Thomas Wheelock, Vice-presidente sênior da Creative. “How we disrupt the agendas of violent extremist groups, how we reimagine interventions to undermine the attraction and messaging of extremist movements and ideologies and how we redefine our future.”
Countering domestic & international violent extremism
By bringing together a wide range of actors working domestically and internationally in ways that are framed and also allow for organic conversation and collaboration, Wheelock says the Simpósio CVE “will ensure the flexibility necessary to surface the innovation that the field drastically needs.”
O Simpósio CVE is the first of its kind interactive, public and cross-sectoral forum on the topic, diz Cameron Chisholm, President of the International Peace and Security Institute.
“The framework of the event is not to provide answers, but to stimulate discussion and innovations around wicked questions in the CVE space and to both take advantage of existing initiatives, lições aprendidas, and approaches, and to stimulate new cross-cutting and cross-sector solutions and strategies,” says Chisholm.
Breaking down silos
Through experiential workshops and built-in knowledge exchanges designed to break down silos, Simpósio CVE participants will work together to better define global extremism and its actors.
“The symposium will act as a catalyst for further discussions, working groups, and will define a clearer approach towards resourcing and planning CVE utilizing combined assets," diz Pamela Aall, Chairperson of IPSI’s Board of Directors
Approaching the issues from multiple perspectives, participants will delve deep into topics like radicalization, reintegration and recruitment; the influence of women, youth and communities; and the intersection of technology and counter messaging.
“Leveraging a cross-section of approaches to preventing and countering violent extremism will promote collaboration and a whole-of-society approach to tackling these challenging issues,”diz Wheelock.
