The Role of University Education in Confronting the Phenomenon of Terrorism and Promoting Belonging among Young People

Abstract

This research investigates the influence of university programs on the battle against terrorism and the cultivation of a sense of belonging among young people. In this qualitative research, participants were interviewed and participated in a targeted Group Discussion with other stakeholders from the university programs as well as students themselves. According to the findings of the research, universities organize conferences to debate issues such as media and terrorism, which are effective in raising public awareness. The promotion of belonging happens when more material is made available via local colleges and as more students are involved in the program. Some significant areas, on the other hand, were still not covered and/or not launched by the various institutions.
