Network Against Violent Extremism A shared conclusion from the summit was that there needed to be a way to continue building the network of people and organizations working on counter-radicalization efforts, particularly for ‘formers’ and survivors. In April, 2012 Google Ideas worked with Institute for Strategic Dialogue, the Gen Next Foundation, and rehabstudio to launch Against Violent Extremism. The online network aims to provide a platform for former violent extremists and survivors of violence to connect with each other to share ideas, collaborate, and identify investment, partners and resources to find ways of amplifying their initiatives and message to a wider audience.
