A training workshop on intellectual immunity for religious leaders was held Friday in Niamey, Niger. The event was organized by the League of Scholars, Preachers and Imams of the Sahel (LOPIS) in collaboration with the Fusion and Liaison Unit (UNFL).
Focused on the theme “Building intellectual immunity and deconstructing radicalized discourse,” the session aimed to equip Nigerien religious affairs officials with tools to counter extremism and promote moderate thinking. The initiative is part of broader efforts to strengthen resilience against radical ideologies in the Sahel region.
Participants engaged in discussions on how to identify and dismantle extremist narratives while reinforcing critical thinking and religious tolerance. The workshop underscores the role of religious leaders in fostering peace and stability.
