Working at the local level with young people and women is important to identify the best ways to prevent violent extremism and win youth’s hearts and minds.   We engage in the innovative work of youth-led peace and security networks, and stressed the value of young people’s ideas to improve our world.

BIHAPH aims to create opportunities for young women and men to be change-makers and peacebuilders in their own communities and wider societies as well as leaders in addressing hate-related issues. Through workshops, trainings, capacity building and empowerment, young men and women are transformed from perpetrators, victims of radicalisation to empowered youths and change makers for community development thanks to BIHAPH.

BIHAPH works in the field of PVE‐E by being guided by its long‐standing commitment to peace and human rights education and, more recently, global citizenship education (GCED) which aims to promote respect for all, strengthen a sense of belonging to a common humanity, and help learners become responsible and active global citizens.
