Networks of Change II

NoC II empowers over 500 teachers, school staff, and parents across Ranya, Halabja, and Chamchamal to prevent radicalisation and support vulnerable youth. Through specialised training and the creation of nine Safe Spaces and three Centres of Excellence, educators are equipped to spot early warning signs, promote positive alternatives, and create inclusive environments where students feel safe, heard, and able to thrive.

NoC puts young people at the heart of its mission. Whether they’re leading awareness campaigns, participating in emotional resilience workshops, or engaging in dialogue with policymakers, youth are not just beneficiaries — they are drivers of change. We provide the tools, training, and platforms for them to shape their own narratives, challenge harmful ideologies, and take ownership of their futures.

Every community is unique — and so are its challenges. That’s why NoC strengthens local structures like schools, community centres, and youth committees. From building referral systems to training educators and forming local PVE committees, we take a tailored approach that empowers communities to lead sustainable change. Our work is rooted in trust, collaboration, and the belief that prevention begins at home.
