As apart of a complex strategy, emerging from the events of 9/11 and the perceived changing face of multiculturalism in Australia, the Attorney-General Robert McClelland announced in 2011 more than $1.1 million in funding for projects to mentor and support young people to stay disengaged from intolerant and radical ideologies. The grants have been awarded under the Building Community Resilience –Youth Mentoring Grants Program (2010) and are designed to promote a tolerant, safe and inclusive society.  \nAs a result of that funding a northern suburbs Council Youth Services in Victoria established a project to work with young people 12 – 17 years who have been identified by Victoria Police, the education sector, and welfare agencies as individuals who have or are exhibiting signs of fostering hatred and intolerance either  \n188 Robyn Broadbent  \nthrough the spoken word, written messages, graffiti, the media orthe internet that live within this local government area.  \nThis paper discusses the results of the evaluation of a multicultural leadership program that was delivered using an adult learning framework in which 16 young people attended and how such programs can continue to build the capacity of communities to build scaffolds of support that ensure the inclusion of young people and not their marginalization.  \nKeywords: Young people, extremism, racism, community program  \nAnti Violence Extremism Youth Project  \nThe Australian Government has become increasingly concerned with the challenge to the dominant culture by humanitarian immigrants entering the country. These themes are picked up time and again by government ministers, in what Poynting and Mason (2008) referred to as the ‘New Integrationism’ took shape. Poynting and Mason would refer to it as a moral panic that was fuelled by a series of incidents including from 9/11 to the London transport bombings of July 2005. Regardless of the catalyst the Australian Government believed that there was reason to be concerned about the radicalisation of young Muslims in Australia. Whether, as Poynting suggests, that these concerns are a part of a moral panic that is not necessarily grounded in evidence, however, there is research that suggests the social fabric is tearing. A recent report by Robinson and Lamb (2012) on the state of young people suggests that too many young people who are not in work, education and training are from disadvantaged backgrounds, particularly those from low SES families (Robinson and Lamb, 2012) .  \nIn August 2007, researchers at Edith Cowan University released preliminary results from a National Fear Survey funded by an Australian Research Council (ARC)‘Safeguarding Australia’ grant. One of the major findings ofthis survey was that fear is isolating many Muslim Australians. Where non-Muslim Australians reported  \nUsing Grass Roots Community Programs as an Anti-Extremism Strategy 189  \ngeneralised fears of such things as travelling in planes, Muslim Australians reported specific fears for their personal safety in public places and a mistrust of our society. Muslim Australians are highly likely to experience discrimination along the following three main themes:  \n• that Muslim Australians are potential terrorists  \n• that there is no place in Australia for Muslims  \n• that Muslims should abandon their cultural practices and‘assimilate’,(Aly, et al, 2012)  \nThe research would suggest that for young people this combination of fear and discrimination and being a part of a group that is experiencing poor economic, education and social outcomes is a toxic mixture. Falk et al (2011) suggests that young people’s experience ","cbCair6fk1pLo8Ev","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCair6fk1pLo8Ev","pdf",371714,24,"English","# Using Grass Roots Community Programs as an Anti-Extremism Strategy\n## Policy funding and the youth mentoring grants program\n## Program evaluation using an adult learning framework","[{\"question\":\"What youth group and age range does the program target?\",\"answer\":\"The project works with young people aged 12–17 identified as showing signs of fostering hatred and intolerance within the local government area.\"},{\"question\":\"How was the program delivered?\",\"answer\":\"It was delivered using an adult learning framework as part of a multicultural leadership program.\"},{\"question\":\"What is the intended impact described in the paper?\",\"answer\":\"The programs are designed to help build community capacity and support inclusion, reducing marginalization while guiding youth away from intolerant and radical ideologies.\"}]","Using Grass Roots Community Programs as an Anti-Extremism Strategy - Paper | PDF",1792077407]
