Скачать или смотреть Full Frame: Countering Extremism with Kyle Dietrich

What draws people to violent extremism is a lack of other opportunities, said Kyle Dietrich, Director of Peacebuilding for Equal Access International, a nonprofit that works in Asia, Africa and the Middle East.

"Violent extremism as a concept is empowered because it's based on vision. It's based on compelling triggering narratives of grievances and opportunities that people see themselves as part of that is inherently empowering," Dietrich said.

He said people working in countering violent extremism must offer an alternative vision. Equal Access International uses media, like educational TV shows,  to engage communities and transform violent extremism. The organization works with local partners who design the programs themselves.
