"We discuss the vital topics which concern everyone. For example, opposition to violent extremism and radicalization leading to terrorism, cyber threats, human rights and democracy. This year the OSCE announced an information campaign called "OSCE is united in opposition to violent extremism". The campaign is developed to support the preparation for the summit which will take place in New York at the UN General Assembly," said N.Zarudna. According to her words, the fight against terrorism primarily concerns young people. She stressed that there are different forms of confrontation including numerous movements against terrorism, for example, "Mothers against terrorism" and religious movements that oppose using Islam in terrorism as terrorist tactics run against the basic teachings of Islam. The seminar is being attended by about 50 students and participants of previous workshops of the Network from the states of Central Asia, Afghanistan and Mongolia, experts, representatives of international organizations and civil society of the countries of Central Asia, Austria, Norway and the United States.
