🧩 We need democratic societies that don’t just react to threats, but prevent them and build resilience.
At @peaceagency.bsky.social our work is about connecting these dots:
Between policy and people.
Because peace isn’t passive: it’s political, practical and participatory.

3️⃣ Parliaments matter

They can turn principles into policy.
And when politics listens more, societies radicalise less.

2️⃣ Social cohesion is security

The more divided a society is, the more fragile it becomes. Inclusion isn’t idealism, it’s national interest.

Our takeaways from @oscepa:
1️⃣ You don’t fight extremism by chasing symptoms

You prevent it by changing the conditions where it grows. that means investing in:
→ Education
→ Dialogue
→ Social mobility
→ Youth leadership

At @peaceagency.bsky.social, we’ve said this before, and we’ll keep saying it:
#Peace isn’t the absence of #conflict, it’s the presence of #justice, participation and #inclusion.

And prevention?
Not soft policy, but smart, strategic governance

The discussions covered organised #crime, corruption and #terrorism, but also deeper systemic threats.
– Youth radicalisation
– Social polarisation
– Democratic erosion

These aren’t side issues.
They’re the root fractures beneath insecurity
