Summit explores sources of extremist violence

Hosted by the Unesco Child and Family Research Centre at NUI Galway, it will focus on the use of compulsory empathy education as a tool to prevent violent extremism, particularly among young people.

The International Family Support Conference will also highlight the perceived decline in empathy, care, and social solidarity, which, according to the organisers, is both an Irish and global concern among youth radicalisation.
