CANADIAN PRACTITIONERS NETWORK FOR THE PREVENTION OF EXTREMIST VIOLENCE

The Canadian Practitioners Network for the Prevention of Extremist Violence (CPN-PREV) is an evidence-based and practitioner-centered network committed to preventing violent extremism. We aim to strengthen capacities, support best practices, and encourage collaborative interdisciplinarity among researchers, practitioners, policymakers, and various community actors.

HOW CAN WE HELP YOU?

I want to learn more about training

We provide training modules for practitioners from diverse sectors that are co-designed and tailored to their specific needs and contexts. We support local implementation and field test existing training programs, toolkits, and applications on prevention of radicalization.

”Peace is not a passive state—it is a collective choice, a shared responsibility, and a continuous effort.
At CPN-PREV, we work to prevent identity-based polarization, promote inclusive policies, and build capacity for greater social justice. Our work is a call to action: to listen, to understand, and to create the conditions necessary to prevent violence.”
