Keeping Faith in Community with Hadiya Masieh
Manage episode 415910567 series 3557160
What does extremism really look like in 2024, outside of the headlines and political debates? Can we empower young people to harness their passions for positive change while steering clear of divisive rhetoric? How do we keep faith in grassroots work when the challenges our communities are facing seem to keep getting bigger?
Our conversation with Hadiya Masieh, Founder and Executive Director of the Groundswell Project, draws on her 22 years of experience in counter-extremism and the highs and lows of running an organisation that works to bring communities together in an increasingly polarised world.
