Tuesday, 3 December in the headquarters of Casa Árabe, in Madrid.
The seminar that takes place in Casa Árabe tackles the analysis of the experiences of interest and the possible contributions from international cooperation, which can contribute to the phenomenon of radicalization and its prevention.
This seminar was started by the Manager of Casa Árabe, Pedro Martínez-Avial; by the Managing Director of CIDEAL Foundation, Manuel Gómez Galán, and by the Manager of the Department of Cooperation with the Arab World and Asia of AECID, Victoria Ortega Gutiérrez. It includes two different sessions: one of them is about the radicalization process and prevention strategies, and the second one adresses different experiences about the prevention of radicalization.
The intervention of the Executive Secretary of the Euroarab Foundation, Inmaculada Marrero Rocha, takes place in the second session, which is called “Experiences of Interest about the Prevention of Radicalization”, a session in which she shares a program with Hana Jalloul, Professor at the Carlos III University; Daniel Pelufo, member of CIDEAL Foundation and Coordinator of the AECID Agreement in Morocco and Julio Andrade, Malaga Mayor’s Office Advisor in Foreign Action and Development Cooperation.
In her speech, Inmaculada Marrero will address the phenomenon of radicalization in young people through the European program, ARMOUR. This program has been conducted by the Euroarab Foundation in a consortium made up by 9 different institutions and organizations from 8 European countries.
The ARMOUR project (Radical Model of Resilience for Young Minds) aims to address the social polarization caused by the adoption and dissemination of extremist ideologies, by creating an interdisciplinary learning model that helps people and communities. This learning model would develop resilience to the ideologies and to specific behaviors of violent extremism.
The project fixes its attention on practitioners in government institutions and, generally, on the civil society that works in the European Union with those young people who are susceptible and vulnerable to radicalization.
ARMOUR provides the know-how and tools needed by communities and practitioners to generate an experimental creative lab in which a psychological and behavioral approach can be developed, as well as communication strategies focused on promoting resilience against radicalization and violent extremism.
The International Conference “Debates on Imperfect Peace” aims at contributing to debate and dialogue on one of the most fruitful concepts developed in the field of peace recently: ‘Imperfect Peace’, coined by the historian, academic and researcher Francisco A. Muñoz Muñoz.
In the course of expounding his theory of ‘Imperfect Peace’, Francisco A. Muñoz addresses the main concepts and ideas in the field of peace, doing so within the framework of major ontological and epistemological shifts. The ontological shift reveals a humane, paradoxical and capable being, stripped of essences: the human being is neither violent nor peaceful by nature and possesses abilities to manage conflicts both peacefully and violently. Thus, essences give way and yield to characteristics. Human beings are historical, contingent and changeable. Regarding the epistemological shift, if what we are concerned with is peace, we ought to research peace, turn it into a category for analysis in its own right, and tackle it from a transdisciplinary approach.
Thus, a matrix arises with five linked referents:
A positive, open, subtle and dialogical consideration of conflicts, seeing them as a difference in projects and nuances between different human entities.
The imperfect and systemic peace: unfinished, in continuous construction, responsibility of all of us, evolving and paradoxical as it lives along with violence.
Criticism of violence: This turn should let us situate peace in the center of our concerns, practices and researches, without forgetting violence.
The importance of mediation as topos, places and as a word enriched by its dialogical quality.
Power and pacifist empowerment. A pacifist and pacific conception of power present in all human beings.

Women Among Worlds association was born in 2000 as a result of the meeting between women from different origins and cultures united together by their will to understand and know the needs of the territory where they live. The different experience held by each one of them caused them to start responding to those needs through training workshops, conferences and exchanges of experiences. Since 2009, Women Among Worlds has got an office where it accommodates women and men who want to know about this reality and use its services.
This meeting is part of the mission which Women Among Worlds has proposed since the beginning in order to highlight awareness among the host society regarding the situation of immigrant women and the social and cultural promotion from a gender perspective. Moreover, they behold an advisory task for women in the different areas of their daily life (judicial, psychological, labor, health and training).
During its almost two decades of experience, the association has achieved many awards for its work in promotion and awareness, among which is the Andalusian Volunteer Award 2013, the Woman Award 2012 from Seville City Council, Meridiana Award 2006 of the Andalusian Institute for Women and the 28 February Award from the Advisory Council of RTVE in Andalusia for the television program Just One World (“Un Solo Mundo”).
