The Counter-Terrorism (CT) department is offering this grant to address the alarming rise in online terrorist recruitment targeting youth. This grant is for the critical purpose of combating the exploitation of social media and online gaming platforms by terrorist organizations, particularly as children as young as 11 are being drawn into plots. Governments are increasingly concerned about this evolving threat and the vulnerability of younger individuals. CT seeks proposals that not only aim to diminish the availability of terrorist content online but also equip vulnerable communities with essential resources and knowledge to effectively identify and counter online terrorist threats, safeguarding our youth from radicalization.

| Description: | In 2024, teenagers accounted for up to two-thirds of ISIS-linked arrests in Europe, with children as young as 11 involved in recent terrorist plots. With governments becoming increasingly concerned about this evolving threat and the increasingly younger age of children being targeted, there is a need to effectively prevent the exploitation of social media and online gaming platforms for terrorist radicalization and recruitment. CT therefore seeks a proposal that not only diminishes the availability of terrorist content but also provides vulnerable communities with the resources to identify terrorist threats online. |
