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 inaugural Eradicate Hate Summit was a truly impressive gathering of leaders dedicated to finding lasting and effective solutions to violent extremism. I was particularly moved by the prominence given to survivors and family members of victims of hate and violence throughout the event. Their stories and those of so many others must be at the center of what we do and why we do it.
