Section outline


  • Below is a 15-Minute Community Dialogue Discussion example that you can utilize within your P/CVE discussion. 

    Instructions: 

    • Have participants raise their hands and say or just shout out freely their answers to the question below. Encourage participants not to be afraid to get creative-during a brainstorm session, the more creative and innovative the idea the better. Tell them to try to think outside the box and come up with activities, initiatives and interventions not currently used by P/CVE actors, but that would work well in their community context. 
    • Write participants’ answers on the board in summarized form. 
    • After a few minutes, or after responses die down, ask participants to process the answers they came up with.
    • If participants are hesitant to volunteer, get the conversation going by asking questions like: Did any of the answers surprise you? Why? Do you disagree with any of the responses? Why? Which option do you think would work best in your community? Why? 

    Community Dialogue Questions: 

    1. In what capacity are women, youth, and marginalized groups, including religious or ethnic minorities, people with disabilities, and LGBTQIA+ missing as P/CVE actors in your community? Judges? Police officers? Teachers? Religious leaders? Political leaders? Other roles?
    2. How could programs or initiatives in your community help to counter that lack of inclusion in your P/CVE-focused work?
