Course Summary

Preventing and Countering Violent Extremism (PVE and CVE) have become priority areas for policy planners around the world at all levels, from local government through to the agencies that make up the international UN system.The emphasis being placed on ‘PVE’ and ‘CVE’ is changing the way that societies think about security and about counterterrorism, moving beyond ‘hard’ counterterrorism strategies towards the adoption of multi-agency and all-of-society approaches. Today, PVE and CVE work is being ‘mainstreamed’ into all areas of our lives, including education, health, social work, community development, the arts and culture.At the Centre for Trust, Peace and Social Relations (CTPSR), Coventry University, our work on PVE and CVE examines how such programmes can contribute to the creation of safer and more peaceful societies, but also the challenges and risks around these programmes and how these might be addressed going forward.
