As part of the Alliance for Peacebuilding&#;s PeaceCon , XCEPT are part of a panel event. This panel will provide insights on how development practitioners and policy-makers can use existing evidence on the drivers of violent extremism to design effective prevention interventions that aim at reducing conflict and contributing to building peace.
The panel will present what behavioural science tells us about what makes somebody willing to engage in violent extremism for their values – and what might turn individuals away from embarking on a path to radicalisation.
