Teens of Astana for a safe future

The Academy of Law Enforcement Agencies organized a film training for senior students of Astana schools “I am for a safe future!” within the framework of the Regional Hub for Combating Global Threats. The event was held at the State Academic Kazakh Music and Drama Theatre named after K. Kuanyshbaev.

Training on countering terrorism and extremism was held with the participation of psychologists, representatives of the juvenile police, education department, public organizations, the media.

The receptivity of young people to radical ideas, working with teenagers and students are one of the key vectors of broad information propaganda in the fight against terrorism and extremism.

Training is planned to be carried out in a new format through film training, which is one of the most effective forms of teaching children today.

Students are immersed in the action of a specially selected film with the help of experienced psychologists. At the same time, they learn about terrorism and extremism, how dangerous they are, learn to analyse plotlines, see hidden ways of recruiting, manipulating people, putting themselves in the place of the main character and adequately reacting to the situation that has arisen.

The result of this immersion is a conscious self-correction of behaviour by teens, the formation of legal awareness, the development of law-abiding behaviour.

After the film the participants of the training shared their impressions and opinions, noted the importance of such events for the education of teenagers, the formation in society of immunity to a radical ideology.
