Popis: The above-mentioned concepts of radicalisation, deradicalisation and prevention are presented in the first paragraph, followed by a discussion of de- and counter-radicalisation programmes in paragraph two. The third paragraph focuses on the prevention of radicalisation in education. Crucial here is a dialogical relationship between teachers and students, between the students themselves and within the students&rsquo
inner selves. This latter aspect is inspired by the theoretical framework of the dialogical self-theory, with its core concept of &lsquo
multi-voicedness&rsquo
and &lsquo
positioning of voices&rsquo
Special attention in the positioning process is given to resilience. The heart of this publication is dedicated to the re-invention of an age-old Islamic game: shaṭranj al-ʿārifīn&rsquo
In the fourth paragraph, we describe its origins and our adapted version of this game. Playing the game in pilot studies&mdash
a &lsquo
serious play session&rsquo
&mdash
increases young people&rsquo
s awareness of religion and its positioning, resulting in strengthening resilience in their life orientation. In the concluding fifth paragraph, we state that our innovative, playful and theoretically well-framed approach is a promising module to be implemented in formal and informal education.
