Training Workshops

Exploring the Foundations of Pluralistic Pakistan and Challenging Extremism

Training workshops are part of ‘Aik: Better Together’ project which hopes to recall Jinnah’s vision of a pluralistic Pakistan.  Key objectives of the workshops are: 

  • To Increase awareness among participants about Jinnah’s vision of Pakistan specially in lieu of religiously-neutral polity and rights of minorities;
  • To introduce and establish clarity on key concepts and best practices of inter-faith harmony, social cohesion and pluralism.
  • Conceptualization of “extremism” as an ideology and identification of push-pull factors that influence it.
  • To Increase awareness among participants about fundamental human rights under the Constitution of Pakistan in reference to countering violent extremism (CVE).

We have conducted 30 workshops in Karachi, Swat, Lahore and Kasur. In addition, 54 online workshops were held with the youth joining from 17 different cities of Pakistan.
