Harnessing the Potential Traditional Storytelling in Preventing Violent Extremism (PVE)

Speaker: Traditional Leader, Council of Kaya Elders - Chairman Mzee Juma Mwakiroho.

"Our communities have lost their culture and values, the inter-generational gap is not as big as we think it is. If generations sit and consult each other, we can come up with thoughtful solutions on VE prevention without conflict.

"Jamii zetu zimepoteza mila na tamaduni zao"
