The training materials for the media sensitization workshops have included:
- A presentation on CVE (Countering Violent Extremism)
- A presentation on gender sensitivity
- A reading document titled “Guide for Reporting on Violent Extremism”
The CVE presentation has provided a comprehensive definition of CVE, has given an overview of various CVE programs, and has analyzed the roles of government and civil society organizations in promoting CVE, along with media samples of CVE stories. The gender sensitivity presentation focuses on the nuanced differences between gender and sex, principles of gender equity and equality, and the roles defined by gender in terms of behavior, values, and attitudes. The “Guide for Reporting on Violent Extremism” emphasizes avoiding biases, utilizing credible sources for facts and data, and employing appropriate terminology when discussing violent extremism. It also highlights the ethical considerations necessary for enhancing the authenticity and impact of media reports, particularly through the inclusion of voices from vulnerable communities.
