By training government media professionals, their skills in dealing with sensitive issues can be enhanced, helping to spread positive messages that promote tolerance and intercultural understanding.

Finally, the workshop can provide a platform for exchanging experiences and best practices among media professionals, contributing to building a network of cooperation to combat extremism and raising awareness about the dangers of violent extremism.
