Think
The Think Project is an innovative pilot project aiming to tackle the threat of racism and far-right extremism in mainstream young people. It has been funded for an initial 3 months by the Community Cohesion Fund in Swansea. The project is based around a programme of group workshops which challenge, and refute the myths and stereotypes surrounding race, religion and migration delivered by experienced trainers in a youth-friendly and accessible style.
An independent evaluation of the pilot project showed it to be successful in challenging and modifying the views and myths of young participants in the project, and to have increased their resilience to far-right extremism.
We feel this is a growing area of need, and aim to expand this area of work.
