About the position
We seek to fill the position of Guardian Shield Project Manager (50% working time position)

2) “Passage4Prevent (P4P): use of education to prevent youth online radicalization” (2020-2021), funded by the European Union, always within the STRIVE Global Program managed by Hedayah.
These pioneering projects laid the groundwork in country for capacity building of teachers and front-line workers in schools on detecting signs of radicalization.
