with media information skills so that
when they surf on the internet they can
actually see the dangers that violent
extremism pose and can also evaluate the
type of information that they consume we
also work with young people to make sure
that there's a counter narrative that is
constructed in order to address the
violent extremism messages this is very
important that we work with young people
and that young people themselves can
actually play an active role in
combating violent extremism on the
Internet we want everybody to be able to
benefit from information technologies
