The first of its kind, IM2PAK was an initiative conducted by SEARCCT to reach out to Muslim undergraduates in order to address religious-based narratives that were being utilised by terrorist organisations for the purpose of radicalisation and recruitment.
SEARCCT invited religious scholars to speak on religious-based CVE issues, which included topics such as religious-based extremism; religious narratives used by terrorist organisations, as well as a session on countering global religious narratives with ‘naratif nusantara’ (narratives from the South East Asia region). Aside from the informative sessions, SEARCCT also ran a CVE campaign design session, in which the participants were required to create a full CVE campaign along with accompanying digital end-products, such as posters and videos, based on the narratives and counter-/alternative narratives that they learned earlier.
