About Book

This book provides a multi-disciplinary approach to preventing radicalization among youth through schools, advocating for primary prevention by reinforcing social and civic competences. Drawing from citizenship education, positive psychology, peace psychology, and social-emotional learning, it offers a framework for practitioners, educators, and policymakers to strengthen resilience against radicalization. Core themes include identity development, perspective-taking, political self-efficacy, mindfulness, and youth empowerment. The combined expertise of the authors—spanning psychology, education, meditation, diversity, and radicalization research—makes the work highly relevant for educational institutions, policy initiatives, and academic research.The book is highly suitable for the repository as it directly addresses prevention of radicalization and violent extremism in educational settings, a core concern of peace, rehabilitation, and coexistence. Its evidence-based, interdisciplinary, and practical approach makes it valuable for practitioners, policymakers, and researchers alike.
