Extreme Dialogue (ED)

Deep and Extreme Dialogue (DED)
Deep and Extreme Dialogue is a highly effective counter-violent extremism and counter-terrorism dialogue in which a person knowledgeable in a subject matter, and is a reformed extremist (or radical), either alone or jointly with others, help(s) to prevent vulnerable individuals, especially young people, from being recruited into violent extremism and terrorist organizations. The practice of DED helps people to navigate the core and often confusing and misleading ideological/religious concepts, that are commonly exploited by violent extremists. This dialogue also helps radicals and extremists to come to terms with, and move away from the complex terrain of extremism and terrorism.
