The MAN2019 conference was opened with the theatre play “How Do I Explain This to My Son”, dealing with the causes and consequences of extremism, problematizing this phenomenon from the aspect of youth. The play presents personal stories, but also theoretically explains and sorts factors of extremism. The play was produced through a workshop, where E8 Centre associates worked with youth from different communities, transferring these experiences into the play.
The “MAN2019: Understanding and Preventing Violent Extremism” conference was organized with the support of CARE International Balkans, the Austrian Development Agency, Oak Foundation and the OSCE Mission to Serbia.
