Under this project, five sensitization workshops have been held at Media Baithak, Kashmir Road, Karachi. Titled “Unleashing the Untold Perspectives,” these workshops bring together individuals from the media industry, including TV, print, social media, film, and theatre. The workshops aim to equip media professionals with a comprehensive understanding of CVE (Countering Violent Extremism), its structure, and how to shift their narratives to be more inclusive, tolerant, informed, and credible. The program also focuses on highlighting non-violent and inspirational narratives for the overall benefit of society and communities.

A total of 57 beneficiaries have attended the workshops. The facilitator initially emphasizes gender sensitivity in media. The sessions follow the approved agenda, screen inspirational stories, and conduct discussions around them. Post-lunch, brainstorming sessions are held where attendees are asked to generate ideas based on their understanding of CVE. Smaller groups of 2-3 people are formed in each session to collectively think about these ideas and share them for feedback.
