The Problem

In what ways might we increase young people’s resilience in the face of radicalisation?

The TRICK17 tool aims at increasing awareness and critical thinking of young people to support resilience in the face of radicalisation. The tool is designed to support young people’s interest in democratic values and encourage them to take a more active role in the city’s social activities. The tool is a creative art-based approach organised in the form of a ‘mobile interactive workshop’.

The Tool uses the power of magic and illusion to engage and empower young people, equipping them with essential skills to think critically and resist radical influences. By harnessing the universal appeal of magic, Trick17 creates an interactive experience that fosters critical thinking and personal growth.
