CURVE — Training of Trainers
Course for Understanding Radicalization into Violent Extremism — an intensive two-week ToT programme designed to produce skilled PCVE trainers for East Africa and beyond
About the Course
The Course for Understanding Radicalization into Violent Extremism (CURVE) is an intensive two-week Training of Trainers (ToT) jointly delivered by the HORN International Institute for Strategic Studies and the Center for Sustainable Conflict Resolution (CSCR), Nairobi, Kenya. The programme is designed to produce a cadre of skilled, knowledgeable trainers capable of delivering high-quality Preventing and Countering Violent Extremism (PCVE) training in their own professional and community contexts.
Spanning ten comprehensive modules, CURVE equips participants with both the substantive expertise and the pedagogical tools needed to understand, analyse, and respond effectively to the threat of violent extremism – with particular attention to dynamics in the Horn of Africa region. A distinctive feature of the course is direct field exposure to Islamic institutions and engagement with Muslim religious leaders, grounding conceptual learning in real community contexts. Participants leave with a Training Manual, expert presentations, and multimedia resources, along with a completed PVE/CVE Action Plan ready to deploy in their home organisations
Learning Objectives
The CURVE ToT is designed to:
- Build a pool of trainers with a deep, comprehensive understanding of Preventing and Countering Violent Extremism (PCVE) theory and practice
- Impart evidence-based PCVE pedagogical skills, enabling participants to design and facilitate effective training programmes
- Expose participants to Islamic institutions and Muslim places of worship – including Mosques and Madrassas – for contextual familiarisation and engagement with religious leaders
- Introduce participants to PCVE best practices and successful intervention models from other regions of the world
Teaching Methods
CURVE adopts a multi-modal, learner-centred instructional approach. As a Training of Trainers, the course models the very methods participants are expected to apply when they return to their own training contexts
