REACH OUT SANDZAK II |
 |
Using guided interactions between youth and law enforcement officers
as a basis for cooperation, participants in this project will use
social media and community outreach events to promote messages that
counter violent extremist ideologies. In a region where political
conflict and social tension contribute to a persistent lack of
economic development and devastating youth unemployment, post seeks
to extend our original CVE effort with a 24-month follow-on program.
Incorporating best-practices learned last year, local youths will
continue a social media outreach effort that dispels myths about the
role of law enforcement in the community and projects a positive
image of Islam and youth culture. Working side-by-side with police
officers in a collaborative environment, young people from across
Sandzak will plan and produce musical concerts, sports competitions,
and other activities to promote anti-extremist themes such as
education, tolerance, inclusion, and non-violence. The project is
realized with the assistance of the US Embassy in Belgrade.

theatre performance was based on Bertolt Brecht’s educational

throughout the preparation process was director Zlatko Paković.
It is a very important play for the analysis of extremism and
personal exercise of democratic and free decision-making in
circumstances when authoritarian structures in power expect from
individuals and groups to accept common behaviors with no
