A Way Out From Violent Extremism | Robert Örell | TEDxVilnius

Every day and wherever we are there will be reports about violent extremists in the news. We hear about the horrifying attacks of ISIS and Al Qaeda, we hear about attacks on refugee camps, of bombings and shootings, and lone-wolf attacks. We hear about right-wing extremists spreading in Europe. What they all have in common is spreading fear and violence. And all of them claim to represent the truth, the only truth, that even validates the use of violence towards others. In this talk Robert shares his experience in helping people to get out of such groups and start a new life. Robert Örell is a director at Exit Sweden, a project launched by NGO Fryshuset to help members safely leave racist, violent, and extremist groups. He has over thirteen years of experience in disengagement from political extremism and criminal gangs. He also has experience in social work, supporting victims of crime, parental support, networking and management. Since 2012, Robert has been a member of the steering committee of the European Commission’s RAN (Radicalization Awareness Network), where he co-chairs the working group RAN Exit. This year, he joined the expert pool at the RAN Center of Excellence. In 2014, he supervised the work at the family support hotline project Sy.Realize, which addresses the concerns of families affected by the Syrian conflict. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at http://ted.com/tedx
