- Civil Society Counter-Messaging in Asia: Experiments and Developments
The Global Network on Extremism and Technology (GNET) is an academic research initiative
backed by the Global Internet Forum to Counter Terrorism (GIFCT) and convened by the
International Centre for the Study of Radicalisation (ICSR) at King’s College London. CENS
organised and facilitated this event as part of our function as a core GNET member.
Summary
In recent years, various civil society organisations (CSOs) have experimented and deployed
counter-messaging campaigns and projects to prevent violent extremism in Southeast Asia.
The pandemic has also accelerated the roll-out of some online CSO initiatives, while offline
face-to-face projects have shifted to hybrid models. This CENS-GNET Workshop brought
together counter-messaging practitioners from Indonesia, Malaysia, and the Philippines to
share best practices and recurring challenges in this developmental field.
