Young people in Leicester have produced a series of films aimed at professionals who work with young people to help create a ‘safe space’ to talk about radicalisation. The films have been developed with the help of the city council’s youth service, the PREVENT programme and a local film company. One of the films examines the difference between holding passionate political views and extremist views. Another is ‘Joe’s story’, which explains how a young man became involved in far-right extremism before a positive role model came into his life and challenged his views. There is a toolkit available to accompany the videos.
