#JashStan (‘Youth Country’ in Kyrgyz) is a youth-led project to prevent and counter violent extremism in Kyrgyzstan. Through youth groups, leadership training, and a reality TV series, this project is transforming the factors that lead to radicalization, empowering young people to take an active role in Kyrgyz society, and increasing collaboration between young people and traditional leaders.
