"YARIM partners shared a common observation :A need for comprehensive training for European youth workers comprehensive:•Religion is very little touched upon in social workers courses. These themes do not appear in the training curricula and can generate discomfort and tension among students/ mature students. •Religion is too often considered to be part of the private or intimate sphere, which leads to a certain reluctance to discussing this theme in the framework of formal curriculum or professional life.•The rise of religious radicalism and political movements of far left and far right cause an increase in suspicion and mistrust, which can induce withdrawal•In France, secularism is often misunderstood and interpreted as a limitation, even a ban on the expression of the religions.A need for adequate tools that can be mobilized by youth workers in response to a change in the profile of the Youth. They observe:•An increasing distrust of young people vis-à-vis institutions and state representatives• A religious extremism, and the use of violence•Increasing invisibility of youth who take refuge behind their screens or in groups where they undergo embroilment•A strong sensitivity of youth to conspiracy theories and messages of propaganda or recruitment, often linked to a high level of frustration, mixed with stigmatization and suspicion• Identity uncertainties, even a deep identity malaise in some young individuals•Barriers to civic participation linked with difficulties in verbalisation and argumentation.A need to promote experiences in order for youth workers to dare interconvictional dialogue with youth. To support professional in their guidance towards a democratic process, open to acceptance of others and diversity. YARIM led the design of three innovative intellectual productions. 1- A training module promoting the development of youth workers' skills in the management of religious facts and in the development of preventive actions for young people facing the risks of religious radicalization2- A toolbox to promote protective factors against the risks of violent radicalisation among young people3- A guide to promote inter-convinctional meetings.The tools proposed by YARIM are modular and scalable.The training module can be completed by other units, other activities can be added to the toolbox and other good practice can complete the guide. These productions enable: •Young people aged from 13 to 30 to develop protective factors against the risks of violent radicalisation•Schools of social work, facilitators and stakeholders in general to support the capacity building of youth workers in religious phenomena and generic prevention of violent radicalization. •Youth actors, professionals to enrich their methods of intervention with youth, in order to recreate the conditions for a positive dialogue (especially on religious issues), to develop protective factors to the risks of radicalization•Public authorities, politicians, association leaders to better understand these issues to lead strategies to increase the competence of youth workers, support to the public policies to promote Youth civic participation in an inclusive society.Communication throughout the project and dissemination during national and transnational conferences was intended to spread the three intellectual activities to a large number of organisations, authorities and professionals, while advocating for youth. We want to show that the radical propensity of youth is inherent to this age and that we have a common responsibility to foster the ""grip"" of these young people on civic commitments, in line with democratic values.Each partner organizes activities in its respective networks to promote YARIM's productions (conferences, tools, workshops, integration of tools into training programs and professional training). The productions are freely accessible on the open educational resource: http://yarimproject.eu/oer/ and Portal Erasmus +Annexe n°2 : rapport final et plaidoyer en anglais"
