Youcef Naimi
2024
Youcef Naimi combined his studies in Islamology and Arabistics in Belgium and abroad, his years of experience in education as an Islamic religion teacher and an active presence in civil society in the field of social prevention. Today he is responsible for overseeing the content of our education and training. At the police schools, Youcef is our main lecturer for the ‘radicalism and jihadism’ training, and he has also given trainings to various police forces on right-wing extremism and racism. During these training sessions the signs and processes of radicalization are discussed. With his expertise about extremist ideologies, he is also an important coach in guiding radicalized young people.
At the Summit
The Summit offers a unique opportunity to confront the corrosive influence of bigotry and hatred in our society. In order for us to address these challenges, we first must acknowledge their painful and destructive impact in our communities and in our country. I am grateful to serve as a Global Advisor to this timely and powerful initiative.
